Gemma Chafer, who runs the Male Box, in St Johns Street, in Low Town, said she wanted to help when she heard that Amanda Hulse, the owner of The Menz Room in Mill Street, was taken into hospital last week.

Amanda is hoping to return to work in November but to ensure her business is kept "ticking over" while she is away, Gemma is cutting her client's hair and splitting the profits with her rival.
