I am going to Thailand!

I am so excited to announce that I will be going to Thailand this summer on behalf of Goldwell! Goldwell is our salon’s color and product line of choice. Only three salons in the United States were chosen to go to Thailand to speak with Goldwell’s CEO in order to give our opinion on Goldwell’s programs and education. More information on my trip will be coming soon!

Protect Your Hair this Summer!

Be Beautiful by Helping Others :United Way Day of Caring in Lake County

Make a Difference in Lake County!


United Way of Lake County recently has learned that there is a shortage of taxable items in food pantries. These are the essential items in grocery stores that food stamps will not pay for but families need desperately.


A cut in recent funding has led to a county-wide emergency need for the most basic of taxable items, including:

  • toilet paper
  • diapers
  • personal hygiene items such as toothpaste and deodorant
  • laundry detergent
  • dish soap
  • feminine hygiene products

While our regular Feed Lake County drive boosted pantry reserves, we fell short of meeting the overall need. In addition to these taxable items, pantries need more food during the summer months. That's when families struggle most because children are not in school and not receiving the daily lunches that schools provide.


You can help!


3 Ways You Can Help Feed Lake County on Day of Caring


1. The number one way you can make a difference is to send a donation to United Way of Lake County (please mark Feed Lake County in the memo section). Mail your check to 9285 Progress Parkway in Mentor, 44060.


Every dollar we receive will go to fill pantry shelves!


2. Donate taxable items (listed above) to United Way of Lake County by e-mailing Gayle Sikula or calling her at 440.639.1082.

3. Another FUN and EASY way to help is to dine at Applebee's or Max & Erma's on June 22. These restaurants will donate 15% to 20% of your meal to Day of Caring!

 

Simply click on either of the above links and go to our website to print the flyers to Applebee's and Max & Erma's. Then share them with your friends!


You must present one of these flyers at the restaurant of your choice in order for 15% to 20% of your meal to go to DAY OF CARING.


Thank You!
