A Havering hair salon created a spooky spider do – for an arachnophobic student’s Hallowe’en party!

Stephanie Burrows, a hair designer at Uppercut Hair Group, jumped at the opportunity when 17-year-old drama student Elena Macy from Ardleigh Green Road, Hornchurch, wanted a spine-chilling hair style for her Hallowe’en ball.

Stephanie said: “I really love to show my creativity, so when Elena came into the salon asking for a weird and wonderful spooky hairstyle, I knew just the thing.

“The giant, creepy, fury spider was made purely out of hair and took over two hours to create.”

Elena said: “I thought it would be a bit of fun to have an outrageous style to go with my outfit.

“Stephanie was great. I have a real fear of spiders and had goose bumps when I saw the monster spider on my head. But I couldn’t be happier with how scary it looks.”
