MEN are being asked if they are man enough to experience just a little of the pain women go through in the name of beauty.

Beauty therapy students want some of the region's macho men prepared to have their chest, back and legs waxed for Children in Need to come forward.

The beauty salon at New College Durham, at Framwellgate Moor, Durham City, will be open between 9.15am and 3.30pm on Friday, November 16.

A spokesman for the college said: "It will give men a chance to know what women know about pain and raise money for a good cause at the same time."

All proceeds raised on the day will go to Children in Need.
