Bella Bethesda Salon Donates Over 800 Inches of Hair

Thank you to everyone who helped make Bella Bethesda's second annual week-long "Cut it for a Cause" campaign a huge success!

We surpassed last year's total number donated and collected 855 inches of hair (that over 200 inches more!), which will be donated and turned into hairpieces for children with medical hair loss due to disease, burns, and cancer.

We also received pledges from 25 additional donors whose hair wasn’t quite long enough to donate during the campaign and we look forward to seeing them in the salon later this year.

A special thank you to the students, staff and parents from Stone Ridge School in Bethesda who joined us on Friday, February 13. Eight students donated their hair and many came to support the cause. Throughout the last year, about 40 Stone Ridge students have donated their hair to Locks of Love and during Bella’s campaign many signed the‘Pledge Board’ promising to donate when they have at least 10 inches of hair.

We love that we were able to out-cut last year’s donation. It is so nice to see the community come out and support a cause so special to Bella Bethesda.

Still interested in donating your hair to Locks of Love? Please call Stacy at 301-718-9111 for more details.

Bella Bethesda Salon Hosts Second "Cut it for a Cause" Campaign

Last February, Bella Bethesda Salon hosted the Cut It for a Cause campaign to benefit Locks of Love, a non-profit organization which provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under the age of 18 with medical hair loss due to disease, burns, and cancer. Because of the great response from the community we were able to donate a total of 640 inches of hair to Locks of Love which helped over 2,000 children across the country.

From February 7-14, 2009 Bella Bethesda will host the second annual week-long event to help the worthy non-profit, and we hope you'll be able to join us for this special campaign and pass the word along to your friends and family.

Cut It For a Cause details and promotions include:

• Free haircut, blow dry and makeover for those who donate 10 inches of more of their hair
• Kick off party on Saturday, February 7 including food, complimentary treatments and special retail promotions sponsored by Profound Beauty
• Pledge board available for those interested in donating but who do not have 10 inches yet- individuals can redeem their free makeover and donate their hair later in the year
• A portion of all sales will be donated to Locks of Love
