Psychic hairdresser Sue Dobbs reckons she can help you with your follicles and your future at the same time.

And Sue, who used to live in Scawthorpe but is now based in Scunthorpe and still regularly visits clients in Doncaster, says she didn't see her psychic powers coming!

She said: "I was walking up the drive at a hair client's house and the word 'crab' just came into my head really strongly and completely out of the blue.

"It wouldn't go away - it kept coming back again really strongly. It threw me a bit and I told the woman whose hair I was there to do about it.

"To my surprise she was completely taken aback - she'd recently lost her mother and crab was her mum's favourite food.

"She said I must have a gift, though it had never really crossed my mind before."

Sue admits that, before her doorstep to Damascus moment, she already had an interest in the paranormal and had used tarot cards and given readings from them to friends.

"It was just an interest really but after that first time things kept coming to me more and more often," she told The Star. "I know it sounds really odd but that's how it all began.

"I also began to notice pains when I was cutting people's hair. Just strange pains from out of the blue - and then when I mentioned them to the client I discover they've had pains in the same place.

"Also I had a friend whose daughter was due to get married and the drawer where her wedding things was in kept opening mysteriously.

"My friend had a boyfriend who'd sadly killed himself 15 years previously and the drawer was one where he'd kept his things.

"I told her it was him sending her a message that he approved of the wedding, and after that the opening stopped."

And, although Sue says her services offer a makeover for the body and the spirit, she guarantees she won't fleece you!

"I don't charge anything for the messages and things that come to me," she said. "I just charge for the haircut and that's it - if anything comes through, it comes through.

"Of course if anyone's got hundreds of questions to ask then I'll book them a special session and do them a full reading and I'll charge for that.

"I've been on This Morning showing them what I do," she added. "Unfortunately the girl I was doing the reading for wasn't very responsive but I think I got my point across. Paul Ross was very impressed."
