Suffolk salon owner to undertake 24-hour beauty treatment marathon in aid of Breast Cancer Now
By Helena Biggs | 21 January 2026 | Events, News
Ixworth beauty professional, Isabelle Cross, is to host a beauty treatment marathon to raise funds for Breast Cancer Now.
From 10am on 21 February, Isabelle will offer select beauty treatments back-to-back for 24-hours from her salon, Studio.19. Clients and supporters are encouraged to donate to Breast Cancer Now and purchase a raffle ticket – the proceeds of which will be given to the charity.
Isabelle comments: “Breast Cancer Now is an incredible charity that supports not only those who have been affected by breast cancer, but their families. Like many people, I’ve seen first-hand the impact breast cancer can have, and I wanted to use my skills and my business in a positive way to support a cause that affects so many – including men.
“My goal is to raise £500, but I’m hoping to exceed that. Beyond fundraising, raising awareness is important to me, as breast cancer can so easily be missed. I’m expecting a steady flow of clients throughout the 24-hours, and I already have a number of bookings, including new clients who have been personally affected by breast cancer and want to take part in supporting the cause.”
The 21-year-old opened the doors to her home-based business at the age of 19, and offers treatments including builder gel enhancements, gel manis and pedis, brow laminations, lash lifts, eyelash and brow tinting and waxing.
“Running my own business has been an incredibly rewarding journey of growth, learning and community support,” Isabelle continues. “The fundraiser feels like a meaningful opportunity to give back, while also bringing the local community together for something truly positive.”
The beauty therapist will be using products from Glossify, Nails by Codie, Nail Order and HD Brows throughout the fundraising marathon, in addition to donated products from LashBase and HARA Professional. There are 19 prizes available to be won in the raffle, including beauty products, vouchers, experiences and produce donated by local and large-scale businesses.
