Cutting for a Cause
For one week in February, Bella Bethesda Salon in Bethesda, MD, hosted a campaign to benefit Locks of Love. Clients who donated 10 inches of hair or more received a free haircut, blow-dry and a gift certificate for a beauty makeover with a Bella Bethesda makeup artist. "This campaign allows us to help others in need, as well as create new and exciting looks—the two things we love doing most," said Stacy Dabney-Ramirez, co-owner of the salon. The salon collected a total of 640 inches of hair for the organization, which has helped more than 2,000 children under the age of 18 who have experienced hair loss. —N.G.
