Alternative Hair Show (Ticket Included in Price of trip)

In 1983 hairdresser Tony Rizzo and his wife Maggie lost their first-born child, Valentino, to leukaemia at the tender age of 2 years and 7 months. They decided to hit back at this vicious disease in the best way they knew by engaging their many friends and colleagues in hairdressing worldwide in an entirely new and audacious charity fund raising event.

The Alternative Hair Show was first staged at London’s Camden Theatre in October 1983. The Show was a huge success raising an enormous £7,500, which was immediately donated to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research the UK’s leading blood cancer research charity. The Alternative Hair Show was born!
