Hayley runs the salon with manager Alanya Jennings, 26, and Beth McLane, 23, both of whom are also from Mansfield.

Alanya said: “With everything that’s going on in the world, we thought it would be nice to do something good and positive.

"It’s all gone a bit wild. As well as clientele and staff, our families and friends have donated. It’s brilliant and will light up a lot of faces.

"We are still accepting donations before we take the eggs to the hospital on April 9 to be distributed.”

It’s a doubly exciting time for Wood’s because it is also waiting to hear if it has made the top 50 in the best new salon category at the UK Hair And Beauty Awards.

“Myself and Beth put the salon forward without Hayley knowing,” Alanya divulged.
