October brings us this year’s events for breast cancer.  There will be the walk, the run, the pink hair and more.  Now you can make a difference by donating your old wig for recycling.  There are more cancer survivors now than ever, so the kind, caring clients of The Salon have initiated a recycled wig campaign. 

 

“We are asking survivors, as well as other salons and their clients, to clean out their closets and donate any wigs, new or used, that they may have.  The salon will refurbish the piece(s) by sanitizing them and making necessary repairs.  In some cases wigs that may no longer be any good will be used for parts.  We may take three bad wigs and make one good wig out of that,” said Michele Errico, Creative Director of The Salon.  “Our goal is to help women who are going through chemotherapy by providing these options for the hair loss side effects.”  Refurbished wigs will be offered to cancer patients at no charge via the American Cancer Society and other local programs. 

 

“This program started when clients who know about The Salon’s involvement with the ACS and Women at Risk programs, just to mention a few, wanted to help and brought in their old wigs, asking if we could find a good home for them. How could I say no?” said Jose Alberto, from The Salon.
