If “Pink October” is dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer in women, the month of November is dedicated to raising awareness of testicular cancer and the prostate in humans. This action is called ” Movember « .

For two years, Pierre Lemesle and Jérôme Lerdu, co-managers of the Barb Hair Men’s salons located in La Haye-Pesnel, Villedieu-les-Poêles and Saint-Lô, have been coming to the oncology department of the private Baie hospital in Avranches, to a day of well-being with sick.

» We were approached two years ago by the private hospital to organize a patient support day. In this context, we cut their hair or trim their beard in order to brighten up their daily lives a little and so that they have a better day, all free of charge, because this action is close to our hearts, we are all involved” confides Pierre Lemesle.

This day will therefore take place at the private hospital on Tuesday November 19. If the two managers will come and take care of the hair and the barbe patients, they can also style the hair of the staff who wish. » Thanks to one of our suppliers, we will give a gift box to anyone who passes by our chair. A little pig will also be available, like in our hair salons, and the money will be donated to the League Against Cancer” concludes the manager.
