Just after declaring to a friend that, as a poor college student, I was too broke to even get a decent hair cut, the perfect opportunity fell into my lap. This Sunday, April 13th, Ananda Salon and Spa at Hilldale is offering $20 haircuts to benefit the Alliance for the Great Lakes, an organization dedicated to water quality and conservation in an effort to "ensure a living resource for all generations." A salon quality haircut for twenty dollars that benefits a good cause? I wanted to know more, so I went to Ananda to get all the juicy details.
Here's what I discovered...
Not only is all of the $20 dollars for the haircut donated directly to the cause, so is the stylist's tip, because they are all donating their time for the day! This is so incredibly refreshing in an age where many businesses claim to support a cause, but then donate very little of the actual profit. Along with donating their time and skills, the stylists are also whipping up their favorite melt-in-your mouth treats to be sold in a bake sale manner, all profits also going to the Alliance for the Great Lakes. The Cut-A-Thon is from 11 am to 6 pm, with nine stylists on at most times. Walk-ins will be welcome all day, but I would schedule an appointment now by calling Ananda at 244-2161.
Can't make it Sunday, but still want to help the cause? Ananda is holding a silent auction throughout the month of April, featuring many different products, services and gift cards. They are also partnering with Aveda's national campaign for clean water, by selling these sweet lavender scented candles for only ten dollars a piece. With 100% of the profits being donated to charity, they are the perfect item to brighten up your home as we move into the spring and summer months!
