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

Bella Bethesda is scheduling appointments now for Locks of Love Week. Interested parties should visit www.bellabethesda.com or RSVP directly to stacy@bellabethesda.com or 301-718-9111. Elementary schools, local businesses and community members are invited to request “group appointments” for a worthwhile day of beauty.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and we hope to see you soon!

Bella Bethesda Salon Named Best Salon By Bethesda Magazine

You cast your votes, and the ballots are in…In this month’s issue of Bethesda Magazine, Bella Bethesda Salon was named ‘Best Salon in the Bethesda area!’

In just a little over a year of business Bella has blossomed into a salon that offers a full menu of hair and makeup services and a staff of 13-plus stylists.

We hope that our special promotions, blow dry classes and beauty days have reflected how blessed we feel to have loyal clients who would bestow such a title upon us. Because Bethesda has been wonderful to us we love helping the community whenever possible. Last year we offered free makeovers to individual who donated 10 inches or more of hair to Locks of Love during our ‘Cut It For a Cause’ campaign. Check back soon for more details as we host the week-long event for Locks of Love again this year from February 7-14.

Again, we are honored to be named the best salon in Bethesda. Thanks for your support!

'Bella' of the Inaugural Ball

Can you believe that we're only a few days away from the Inauguration? Regardless of how crazy that day is going to be in DC, it really is exciting to be in the metro area, and to feel a part of it all. Bella Bethesda Salon is offering a special promotion in honor of the occasion.

There are a number of inaugural balls and celebratory events taking place, and Bella Bethesda wants to help make you look fabulous.

From Saturday, January 17 through Inauguration day, Bella Bethesda (just voted Best Salon by Bethesda Magazine) will offer 10% off blow-outs and updos, along with complimentary makeup applications. Put the money saved on your hair towards that dress you've been eyeing! (or at least a new pair of earrings!)

Appointments can be made by calling 301-718-9111.

Tis the Season to be Pampered

The holidays will be here before we know it, and no matter how well we plan, it still seems to get a bit hectic towards those last few weeks of holiday shopping, cooking and festivities.

Plan to steal away for a little R&R this holiday season. On December 5 Bella will host a day of pampering and luxury. Throughout the day we will offer free treatments and free blow dry consultations.

And since it was so popular the first time, later in the evening we will have experts from Atlantis Medi-Spa join us at Bella Bethesda for a Botox party. The experts from Atlantis will be available for treatments, consultations and to answer questions. Look out for the next newsletter for more details.
