A FLORIST from Watford is going blonde to raise money for the Peace Hospice.

Mr David Greenfield, 37, of Rosanna's florist in St Albans Road, Watford, volunteered to have his hair dyed in conjunction with Go Blonde a part of the Peace Hospice's fundraising week Go Yellow.

Mr Greenfield said: "I saw an article in The Watford Observer and I thought I would give it a go. I think the Peace Hospice is a great charity that does wonderful work, so I am happy to do it.

"I have never dyed my hair before but I have promised my wife I will dye it back to its original dark colour."

Mr Greenfield is having his hair dyed on Friday, June 14, at Sak's hairdresser in Clarendon Road, Watford.

The salon has agreed to donate ten percent of all takings from colouring, tints and highlights throughout Go Yellow week which starts on Saturday, June 15.

Mrs Francis Laurie, manager of Saks, said: " We're happy to support such a worthwhile cause and aim to make Go Blonde a fun week.

"We're looking forward to welcoming existing and new customers. "

Mr Greenfield has produced a special Yellow Bouquet which will be sold in his shop from tomorrow until Saturday, June 22. For every bouquet sold, Mr Greenfield will donate £2.50.

There are a number of other hairdressers taking part in Go Blonde, including Richard Hair Fashions in Courtlands Drive, Elise in Cassiobury Drive, Andrea and Son in St Albans Road, Gemini in Orbital Crescent and Cut 3 Ways in College Road, Abbots Langley.
