October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Ivy Salon will be selling one of our guests’ favorites – the limited edition hand relief™ moisturizing creme with cherry almond aroma! Aveda is donating $10 from every purchase of this limited-edition moisturizer to help fund life-saving, cruelty-free research at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Organizations that Accept Donated Hair:
If you’re planning a major cut, consider donating your hair to one of these organization who provide wigs to those who need them:
- Wigs for Kids provides wigs for kids who are living with cancer as well as those who are suffering from alopecia areata. They require 12 inches of hair but recommend that you have 14 inches to spare.
- HairWeShare provides wigs for people who have medical conditions that cause hair loss. This includes cancer and burns. They require only 8 inches of hair and accept hair that has been dyed (but not highlighted).
- Locks of Love provides hair replacement for children who have suffered from medically related hair loss. They accept hair that’s at least 10 inches long in a braid or ponytail.
- Pantene Beautiful Lengths is a program sponsored by Pantene and the American Cancer Society. It provides wigs for people who have experienced hair loss from the treatment of any form of cancer. Their minimum length is less than some other organizations at 8 inches.
