Phil Davis, the co-owner of DPC Clinic on Stockport Road in Cheadle, Cheshire, has undergone the snip to raise more than £1,200 for Prevent Breast Cancer.
Along with his wife Penny, Phil runs the permanent makeup, aesthetics and skincare clinic in the heart of Cheadle, and is well known for his long hair that he has been growing for more than a decade and often dyes bright colours.
In support of two of their close friends, one of whom they lost to breast cancer and the other, a local lady called Julie Harrison, co-owner of female-only networking group, UK Gossip Girls, who is successfully now in remission, Phil accepted the challenge to have his crowning glory cut off to raise funds for the Prevent Breast Cancer charity.
With the support of family, friends and clients at the clinic he has smashed his initial target of £500 raising more than £1,200 for an incredible cause that works tirelessly to prevent and protect future generations from breast cancer.
Despite his neck and ears being a little cold, Phil is embracing his new look and has already received lots of compliments.
He said: “Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and to everyone for their support and encouragement during October and the build-up to the actual ‘big snip’. I’m delighted to have raised so much for such a worthy cause and am gradually getting used to my new look when I catch sight of myself in the mirror. A large proportion of my regular clients are female and we’re all aware of someone who has been affected by breast cancer, so it was my pleasure to do something small towards this good cause.”
Located on Stockport Road, DPC Clinic is an established permanent makeup, laser, aesthetics and skin therapy clinic with a reputation for incredible results in a beautifully welcoming and luxurious setting in the heart of Cheadle, Cheshire.
