Michael's Salon and Spa, Dayton, Ohio - Over 40 Makeover: Lisa

Model: Lisa Scaggs
Hair: Tari Huber
Makeup: Paula Piersall

Lisa learned about our makeover contest through Twitter. She saw the tweet, read the blog, and sent her photograph in without telling anyone. She was surprised to learn that she was selected. Lisa had never been to Michael's, so Tari, one of our master designers worked with her to plan her new look.

As you can see, Lisa's hair was long and in need of a boost of color. That's exactly what Tari did for her, but first they donated Lisa's ponytail to Pink Heart Funds. Tari started with a chestnut brown permanent color to warm up Lisa's look. She then added chunky blonde highlights. Tari added face-framing layers and a side-swept bang to show off Lisa's great eyes and smile.

To style, Tari used Moroccan Oil to strengthen and condition before blow-drying. She used Osis Slick before flat-ironing to help straighten Lisa's naturally curly hair. Finally, she set the look with Bed Head Masterpiece by TIGI. For a night variation, Tari curled sections of Lisa's hair, first using Working Spray by Aquage to protect against heat damage and add body.

Locks of Love donation at Michael's Salon and Spa, Dayton, Ohio

We love it when our clients take the time to offer us feedback! Here is another comment that was submitted yesterday in the 'Share your experience' box on our website:

"I had a great experience. I cut 11 inches off to donate to locks of love. I was a little nervous but Myka did such a great job. I get compliments every day on my cut and color. Everything was great and I love my new do for summer!
-Kristyn

Myka

Thanks Kristyn for leaving feedback, we're so glad that Myka took such great care of you! And thanks for donating your hair to such a great cause. We work with both Locks of Love and Pink Heart Funds to donate hair to disadvantaged children and cancer patients.

In order to donate to either charity, please remember that your PONYTAIL must be at least ten inches long. Your hair might be ten inches, but when pulled back into a ponytail it gets shorter.

Has anyone else donated to Locks of Love, Pink Heart Funds or another charity? How was your experience? Did you like going from long to short? Please share in the comments below.

Dayton, Ohio resident donates her hair to benefit Pink Heart Funds with the help of Michael's Salon and Spa

Cindy Simerlink of Dayton, Ohio knew that she wanted to dramatically change her hairstyle and at the same time wanted to donate her almost waist-length hair to a charitable cause. She chose Michael’s Salon and Day Spa to accomplish the first goal and the Pink Heart Funds to realize the second.

The Pink Heart Funds is a non-profit charity which provides prosthetic hairpieces for children and adults suffering hair loss due illness, including those receiving cancer treatments.

Cindy arrived at Michael’s Salon and Spa in Centerville, Ohio and was greeted by Amanda Hansen, a Michael’s designer and educator. Cindy and Amanda discussed styles and selected a chin length bob. So Amanda cut the first 12 inches of hair and set it aside for the Pink Heart Funds. Then she began to sculpt and shape Cindy’s bob. After the bob was cut and styled Michael’s makeup artist, Debbie Sandstrom, completed Cindy’s new look with a Jane Iredale makeover.
