SLOTS ARE FILLING UP FAST. CALL SOON.
As we watch the devastation unfold in Haiti, feelings of helplessness along with tremendous sadness are overwhelming. As we celebrate justice and honor Dr. King this weekend and early next week, area citizens and business are finding ways to contribute to the relief efforts. By getting your haircut in a participating salon on Feb. 1, you can participate as well.
Haircuts for Haiti is one way Asheville citizens and businesses are coming together to support relief efforts in Haiti. Five Asheville salons are holding a cut-a-thon and donating 100% of haircut proceeds on Monday, February 1, 2010 to relief efforts for the earthquake that devastated Haiti.
The salons welcome other businesses to match what is raised or become part of Haircuts for Haiti in whatever way is feasible for them. Participating businesses will be listed on the Wildflower Studio website, www.wildflowerstudioasheville.com. Businesses interested in participating in this effort should call Amanda at 505-9490.
Individuals who would like to make an appointment or support businesses offering 100% proceeds to relief efforts in Haiti can find the names of participating businesses on the Wildflower Studio website or by calling 505.9490. Each salon will have a different price for cuts and a different schedule. Please call the salon of your choice directly to make the appointment.
