Stylemakers Salon Hosts Wig Donation Drive to Benefit Local Women Served by American Cancer Society’s Look Good…Feel Better Program

Trade in New or Gently Used Wigs for Salon Services
November 27 through December 23, 2009

FORT WORTH, Texas – November 25, 2009 -- Stylemakers Salon (www.stylemakersalon.com) will host a pre-holiday wig donation drive November 27 through December 23 to benefit local women undergoing cancer treatment who participate in the American Cancer Society’s Look Good…Feel Better® program. During the wig drive, those who have a new or gently used wig they no longer need can trade it in for a gift certificate worth $50 dollars toward hair salon services at Stylemakers or they can Spin the Wheel of Fortune to get a substantial discount on a new wig and even have a chance to win a FREE wig of their choice from Stylemakers’ huge inventory of ready to wear wigs.

"In the giving spirit of the holiday season, we think this is the perfect time to help local women undergoing cancer treatment," said Shelly Beatty, master stylist and owner of Stylemakers Salon.  "Those who donate can use their gift certificate to update or renew their style just in time for the holidays, and the American Cancer Society gets wigs that they can restore and give to women throughout the community who are in need. It's definitely a win-win for all involved." 

Stylemakers Salon offers traditional hair salon services plus high-end specialty services, such as hair extensions, hair thinning solutions and custom and ready-to-wear wigs for those facing cancer, alopecia, trichotillomania, thyroid disorders and general hair loss.  As an official affiliate of the Hair Loss Control Clinic, Stylemakers is the only salon in the Fort Worth area offering laser hair therapy services to help stop hair loss and re-grow hair.

Look Good...Feel Better is a free, product-neutral, non-medical program that teaches beauty techniques to women cancer patients to help them combat the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. Offered in partnership with the American Cancer Society, the National Cosmetology Association and the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, Look Good...Feel Better is "like a makeover for the spirit." The full Stylemakers stylist team has been trained and serves as volunteer presenters/coordinators for the Look Good…Feel Better program at various locations in Tarrant County.

The wig donations may be dropped off at Stylemakers Salon, located at 1201 West Lancaster in Fort Worth during their normal business hours: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. To learn more about Stylemakers or to make an appointment, please go to www.stylemakersalon.com or call 817.332.9100.
