Just minutes before she was to have her long golden locks shaved off for charity, 24-year-old Erin Shannon spoke of the words of wisdom her father had given to her.
“He said, ‘Erin, when I was growing up, if it didn’t hurt anyone else, and it didn’t hurt you, then you got to do what you wanted to do.’”
So the 2006 graduate of Maryvale Preparatory School in Baltimore did what she wanted March 24, as she sat on a stool at the front of Dougherty’s Pub in Mount Vernon, Md. and had her head shaved to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
Donned in a T-shirt and large gold hoop earrings, Shannon was all smiles as she took to the chair, where Becky Levine of Neal’s Hair Studio and Day Spa wielded her clippers.
