In May, Gastonia Hairstylist Molly Prescott decided she would attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to complete five skin fades.

Prescott planned to make her attempt over the summer but had to postpone after an emergency surgery to her spine and back put her "out of commission" for four to six weeks, she said.

On Sept. 16, Prescott will get the chance to compete for the new world record, and she wants to make it a community event.

Teaming up with the Gastonia Ghost Peppers, Prescott will attempt five skin fades in under 14 minutes and 56 seconds in front of a live audience. The event will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. at CaroMont Health Park, 800 W. Franklin Blvd. in Gastonia. Doors open at 5 p.m.
