Clairol Goes Red
Clairol Professional is in the giving spirit. For every product the company sells through June 2008, it will donate 20 cents to Go Red for Women—a movement founded by the American Heart Association. Clairol's efforts will amount to an estimated donation of $100,000. The company has dedicated a few Web pages on clairolpro.com to its support of Go Red for Women and has even launched a print ad campaign. "The goal of this program is to give back to the stylists and the community," said Martin Kauffman, managing director for P&G Professional Care Openline. "We developed this initiative to inspire our customers and we encourage others in the community to join in. It helps build awareness about heart disease, and it grows organically through our network of salons, which are powerful hubs of support and networking for those with heart disease and those who want to prevent it." In addition, Clairol has asked some of today's most talented colorists, including Adam Broderick, Marcy Cona, Danny Lapointe and Gregg Lewandowski, to devise their very own red haircolor techniques and, in return, the company will make an additional donation on their behalf. Before-and-after pictures and step-by-step instructions of their work will be featured on clairolpro.com for all to see. Clairol Professional will also hold a contest for haircolorists inviting them to submit their own red haircolor techniques using Clairol Professional products. Winners will be selected based on creativity and will receive a free haircolor class and a two-night stay at The Studio, Chicago, or The Studio, Los Angeles. clairolpro.com —N.G.
