We are registered with "A Matter of Trust" to donate all our hair clippings to make hair booms . The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the number one topic of conversation at the shop. We are all devastated by this disaster but we are not helpless, the more hair we cut the more hair we can donate. So please tell your friends and family to come and get a great haircut and make a difference in the world.
Matter of Trust is also asking for donations of nylons as well as other things, if you go to our web site we have a link to their site. Check out the utube video on our blog showing the effects of the hair booms vs conventional booms its amazing. We sent our first box of hair to Alabama, one of the volunteer warehouses. We hope to send as many boxes as are needed. We also wish there wasn't a need. The way they use the hair is to stuff the nylons with it which then becomes a boom , then put these booms into the oil filled water and the hair attracts the oil therefore creating clean water. I know I am simplilfying but thats the jist of it.
I don't think I have ever seen my assistants as well as the stylists and receptionists sweep up the hair clippings with so much care. Every strand is like gold.
