A LUCKY Droitwich woman will be packing her sunglasses and suntan cream to jet off to Las Vegas thanks to a haircut in a town salon.

Ann Hodgson, of Witton, was chosen as the winner of the holiday from thousands of people across the UK after she bought a raffle ticket at her hairdressers, Barberellas, in Worcester Road.

Ann bought the ticket to help raise money to send the British hairdressing squad to the championships in Vegas next month, never thinking she would actually win.

But when the 64-year-old's ticket was picked from the thousands of entries at the National Hairdressers Federation event at the NEC last month, Ann was proved wrong.

Speaking to the Droitwich Spa Advertiser she said: "I just couldn't believe it when the hairdressers from Barberellas phoned and told me I'd won two tickets to Vegas.

"I thought they were joking at first, it's like a dream come true."

Ann and her husband, Ken, will fly out to Vegas in July and have been given tickets to go and see the hairdressing finals in between sunning themselves.
