Local Hair Salon Hopes to Help Cut the Need in Haiti
| WHAT: |
Scissorhands Salon is hosting Hair Cuts for Haiti, an all-day event to benefit the victims of the tragic earthquake in Haiti earlier this month. On Sunday, January 31, 2010, Scissorhands Salon will offer half-price hair cuts from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. All proceeds will be given to Catholic Charities of Louisville to support Catholic Relief Services’ ongoing efforts in the region. |
| WHEN: |
January 31, 2010, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. |
| WHERE: |

| WHY: |
With estimates of more than 100,000 dead and hundreds of thousands more left injured and/or homeless, the nation of Haiti continues to need assistance. Ramona Blair-Kareken, owner of Scissorhands Salon in the Highlands, felt compelled to do what she could. Praying and consulting her husband and close friends, she then knew to do what she does best: hair. Rallying her staff around the effort, they will give half-price hair cuts on this Sunday, providing the proceeds to relief efforts in Haiti. |
