“Our salon partnered with the Humboldt Breast Health Care Project, and became a resource in the community of awareness and information. Each May we do a percentage of sales to honor women on Mother’s Day. With each gift certificate sold, we attach literature on breast health care, and acknowledge them by giving a donation in their name.”

“For Hurricane Katrina relief, all of the therapists and stylists opened their books on a Sunday. Any treatment was a $50 donation. The community also showed up with donations of clothes, household items, jobs and places to live for some of the displaced people that evacuated to our area.”
