Wigs contract for hairdressers

A HAIRDRESSER in Edinburgh has won a contract to supply NHS cancer patients with wigs.

Lynn Barton, of LA Hair Solutions, Morningside, is one of four salons across the country to get money from a 4 million pool.

The salon takes a cast of patients' heads and creates both acrylic and real-hair wigs for cancer and alopecia patients.

Ms Barton said of the contract: "We are confident it will have a positive effect on our business."
