A 52-hour hairdressing marathon at the Christine Francesca salon on the Denton-Audenshaw border ended with a champagne celebration.
Manageress Eileen Nichison and assistants Tracey Sidlow and Gillian Bailey raised more than £120 for the St Hilda’s Church building fund.
On the Saturday afternoon, when the last customer had left, it was home to bed for the hard-working trio who had worked almost non stop since 9am on Thursday.
During that time, 186 customers came through the door, many of them in the middle of the night and early morning.
They decided to help the church facing the salon on Denton Road when they heard how heartbroken some of the parishioners were when their old hall, known as The Shack, was burned down a couple of months earlier.
