Our wonderful clients support Caroline's Campaign Make-over event for Breast Cancer Sufferers

Gorgeous Star PR clients joined forces for Caroline Monk's charity, Caroline's Campaign, to provide seven ladies battling Breast Cancer a Valentine’s themed make-over day of a lifetime.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, cancer campaigner, Caroline Monk knows all too well how devastating the effects of losing your hair, eye brows and eye lashes can feel for women. Caroline Comments ‘It was a dreadful experience, the chemotherapy left me looking like a bald alien, and feeling very unfeminine and depressed.’ So in 2007 Caroline, recently awarded, London Personality of the year, set about helping other cancer sufferers by organising free pampering days, worth over £1,000 to help restore the confidence and lift the spirits of women battling the disease.

Since launching the campaign, Caroline’s helped dozens of women all over the UK. Caroline’s latest event was held in London on February 6^th, with a Valentines theme to help seven ladies look and feel amazing in time to celebrate the most romantic day of the year with their loved ones. Unlike other charities, Caroline doesn’t ask for any money to help the women involved, but for local people to kindly donate their time and services for free to make a real difference to people’s lives.

This year the make-over event was held at our clients premises, Denise Lebar, a specialist London hair loss boutique, whose team provide the most innovative and advanced hair loss solutions for women experiencing any form of thinning or hair loss issues. Working together with Caroline’s team of volunteers they gave dramatic new looks to seven very deserving ladies, whose lives and confidence had been shattered by cancer. The day saw the women pampered with manicures, make-up sessions and even tattooed eyebrows by Karen Betts as well as the hair make-overs from Denise Lebar’s expert hair loss team and wigs styled and donated by Trendco.

When the women had been glitzed and glammed they were whizzed in a limousine over to our new client, the swanky Rydges Hotel to Gloucester Road for a star studded showbiz after party where they rubbed shoulders with the likes of Vanessa Feltz, Nicola McClean, Bobby Sabel, Lizzie Cundy, Sam Fox, Lorraine Chase and Zoe Hardman to name a few. Top Kensington hotel Rydges provided the venue, drinks, staff and food free of charge all evening so the ladies could end their special day in style.

Debenhams generously donated all the clothes and shoes for the ladies fashion make-overs which saw them dressed head to toe in red and black in keeping with the Valentine’s Day theme. When the ladies walked into the room to reveal their new looks to their friends, family and celebrity guests, there was not a dry eye in the house.

Caroline explains, ‘You cannot fail to be moved by what a difference this event has made to the lives of these ladies and their families. Restoring their appearance that had been ravaged by chemotherapy helped the women to regain a sense of their femininity and confidence giving them a real feeling of hope for the future. It means so much to these women to realize that total strangers are prepared to give up their time and services to give them a day to cherish and remember.’ ‘I can’t thank everyone enough who helped to make this event happen, and would urge other people around the UK to help run similar events to help women in their local communities.’

Through-out the evening the ladies were spoilt by delicious canapés, yummy cupcakes donated by Cute as a Cup Cake Ltd, bubbling Champers and danced the night away. Looking gorgeous, glamorous and best of all- Happy. 

Hayley Sparkes, Gorgeous Star PR quotes, 'We were delighted  to involve two of our fantastic clients in Caroline's Campaign latest event. The team at Denise Lebar and Rydges worked tirelessly to ensure the ladies taking part had the day of their dreams, and I can't personally thank them enough for supporting such a worthy charity campaign.'

We were thrilled when we discovered Denise Lebar, a specialist hair loss boutique in London!The team offers an amazing service helping women suffering with any form of hair loss. Their hair loss solutions are so advanced, I was truly amazed at how realistic the hair systems are, and how far removed the technology is from the typical image of a 'wig' you would conjure up in your mind when you think about what is on offer for hair loss. The boutique has been beautifully and thoughtfully designed to offer a luxurious environment for every client to enjoy, with private rooms on offer if required.

Denise Lebar, the namesake founder of the business, was diagnosed with Alopecia several years ago. The solution that was offered to her at that time resulted in her losing even more hair. This prompted Denise to search for a safer cosmetic alternative that would enable her to increase volume and length without damaging her own hair or causing further hair loss.

Two years on, Denise has been delighted with her discovery of the highest quality, natural and glamorous hair solutions which are attached using the safest methods available, producing exceptional results. It became Denise’s passion to share her beauty secret with every woman who is experiencing Alopecia, hair thinning, hair loss or those who simply wish to add volume and sensuality to their hair in a luxurious environment, with discreet, elegant, individual treatment rooms.

An exciting list of advanced beauty, cosmetic and medical treatments available at the Denise Lebar Hair Boutique include Aesthetics, Botox and Fillers, which are carried out by Denise’s experienced Aesthetic Practitioners.

A certified Trichologist holds private consultations with any clients with hair loss concerns looking to give an in-depth analysis of hair and scalp conditions, in an environment which is very understanding, caring but also glamorous. Denise Lebar feels strongly that women with such conditions shouldn’t have to be treated in a cold and often depressing clinical setting.

Denise Lebar have looked after a number of celebrities, including X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, TOWIE star Jessica Wright as well as actress and writer Carol Harrison. The team have recently been featured as experts on the TV shows, 'My Transgender Summer' for channel 4 and 'Bigger Than Beyonce' for Sky Living.
