A Borehamwood woman and her son are allowing an Eighties pop star free rein over their hair on Thursday in aid of Children in Need.
Lisa Hunter, 38, of Alban Crescent, Borehamwood, and her son Alfie, 16, will have their hair cut by pop singer Steve Strange as part of the BBC 3 television show, Celebrity Scissorhands, in which celebrities cut people’s hair to raise money for charity.
Mr Strange is best remembered as the lead singer and frontman of the Eighties New Romantic pop group Visage.
Ms Hunter, who is training to be a social worker, said: “On a scale of one to ten, ten being the most scared, I think I’m about 11. I’m letting a madcap Eighties pop star who is apparently very ‘creative,’ attack mine and my son’s hair in the name of charity. Alfie seems to think I’ve stitched him up big time.
”I’m an Eighties lunatic, but my Eighties hairdos are still not something I really want to recapture.”
Alfie, who works in Halfords in Borehamwood, said: “Mum told me the gist of what was happening, after she’d applied for us to be on the programme. I was excited until I saw the show the other day. One guy had massive clumps cut out the side of his head.
“My boss at Halfords said he’d donate money, but he’ll give more if they mess it up.”
The programme will be shown on Friday at 9.30pm. To sponsor Ms Hunter and Alfie, visit justgiving.com/lisaalfiecelebrityscissorhands
