Hair Cuttery has been in the
pink this summer raising funds
for an organization near and
dear to the salon chain' s heart.
Through its " Pink to the
Max" campaign,Hair Cuttery
raised $35,500 for Locks of
Love, a non-profit organization
that provides hairpieces to
underprivileged children suffering
from long-term medical hair
loss.
Hair Cuttery
stylists made the donation possible
by selling pink rubber band
bracelets embossed with the
Locks of Love logo. Designed
by Hair Cutteryin one of the
season' s hottest colors, the
$1 bracelets were a big hit
among teen-aged fashionistas
also eager to do a good deed.
" Without
stylists, Locks of Love would
not be able to help as many
children as we do," said
Susan K. Stone, Locks of Love
executive director. " Hair
Cuttery has been a long time
supporter of Locks of Love and
their "Pink to the Max"
program is just another example
of their selfless dedication
to helping others. We are so
grateful for their commitment
to Locks of Love, and for the
support of their clients."
Locks of Love
has helped thousands of children
since 1997 by providing human
hairpieces and boosting self-esteem
for children in need. Many of
the organization' s young clients
suffer from alopecia areata,
an autoimmune skin disease which
causes hair loss, while others
lose their hair through injury
or other illnesses.
Since 1999,
Hair Cuttery stylists nationwide
have been encouraging clients
who are cutting more than 10
inches of hair to donate it
to Locks of Love. Hair Cuttery
clients donate an average of
1,200 ponytails annually, which
comes out to a little more than
100 a year.
CEO and stylist
Dennis Ratner founded Hair Cuttery
in 1974. The value-priced salon
chain is the largest division
of Ratner Companies, a family-owned
company with 800 Hair Cuttery
salons on the East Coast and
in the Midwest. Hair Cuttery
offers a full complement of
cutting, coloring and texturing
services with no appointment
necessary.
