They've seen styles of all shapes and sizes and colours.

Now, a hairdresser's in Poringland is celebrating 40 years in business by looking back at the fashions over the decades - and forward to the future.

Colin David Hair Studios, on The Street, owned by husband and wife Colin and Wendie Cork have been trading in Poringland since 1975.

To celebrate, the unisex hair studio will be giving 25pc of their takings from the week to East Anglia's Children's Hospices and holding raffles, serving cakes and giving gifts.

Mr Cork, who began hair dressing at 18, said: 'Locally we have the new hospice opening up behind us and it's something we decided to do and raise money for alongside the celebrations.'

Over the past few years, their daughter Harriette has become more involved in the family business by taking care of their social media.

Mr Cork said: 'Harriette basically runs the place, she's a different generation to us and knows how to bring the business forward with social media.'

Having been open through five decades, the owners have styled their way through dozens of trends both good and bad.

When asked about hairstyles he remembers, Mr Cork said: 'There have been so many different styles over the years, I think it would be impossible to say my most and least favourite ones.
