“It is especially evident how generous and giving hairdressers are of time, talent, spirit and resources” says MODERN SALON Editorial Director Michele Musgrove. “Hairdressers Helping Hairdressers is a wonderful way to show and celebrate our community’s strength, unity and compassion at a time when so many of our own are in need.
