Katie is a cut above for Le Tour
The 19-year-old, from Pellon, Halifax, has had the ultimate cycle-inspired haircut in honour of the world’s greatest cycle race.
Staff at Hair and Beauty World in Burnley Road, Mytholmroyd, where Katie works, have named the head-turning style Queen of the Mountains and plan to use the images on their website and Facebook and Twitter account.

She bought a bike from Pennine Signs, next door to the salon, and wrapped the wheels in hair extensions.
Then she attached it to Katie’s head with a simple French plait and pins. A victory roll and curls finished the style off.
She said: “The eyes of the world will be on Yorkshire this weekend and we wanted to mark this historic occasion with a style fitting such an event.
“We all plan to watch the race on Sunday. It will be all over in a heartbeat but our hairstyle will be around for years to come.”
