$10 Haircut Day, Helps the Airdrie Food Bank

Airdrie, AB – Sunday August 28th, 2011 - On Sunday, August 28th The Hair Lounge will be opening its doors for the second annual $10 Hair Cut Day. The salon will be open from 12 – 6pm and accepting clients on a first come, first serve basis. 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Airdrie Food Bank, specifically the R.J. Hawkey Breakfast Program and Snack Attack program.

The salon will have its eight fabulous stylists working non-stop from 12 – 6pm. The stylists have been looking for a way to give back to their community and thought what better than to use their two hands and a pair of scissors. The stylists will be donating their time which means that every cent that comes in will go straight to the Airdrie Food Bank.

The Hair Lounge knows that back to school can be a hard time for many families, and they want all children to enjoy their school days, it will be focusing on providing cuts for children from kindergarten to grade 12 to give them a fresh and affordable look for their new school year. They hope that by making affordable quality cuts, these children will gain the added confidence to succeed in their upcoming school year. The Hair Lounge will only be accepting cash payments and in addition there will also be a donation box for those individuals who would like to make an extra contribution. Non perishable food donations will also be accepted.

There will be hotdogs and drinks for sale, all provided by the Airdrie Food Bank, as well as raffle tickets for fabulous prizes. The children will also be able to enjoy face painting and some time in a bouncy castle.

The Hair Lounge chose the Airdrie Food Bank, as this year’s organization because of the work it does for the community. Over the last school year the R.J. Hawkey Breakfast program provided over 5000 breakfasts! While the Snack Attack program provided nutritious snacks to over 16 schools in the Rockyview area. Nutrition is crucial to our children’s success in school and the Airdrie Food Bank helps to support our children’s nutrition and growth through these programs.
