Hair Raising Makeover ~ Your Change Creates Change!

admin — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:07:09 +0000

Makeovers are FUN, no matter how you slice cut & color them. They’re extra special when they’re offered as a fundraiser, raising monies for awesome things like a brand new Student Publishing Center at Butte des Morts Elementary School in Menasha…with extra funds raised going to a Heifer International project through the school.

Stylist Deb Gehrke teamed up with one of her favorite clients, Mrs. Jennifer Peterson, Media Specialist at Butte des Morts Elementary to create a one of kind Hair Raising Event. (This is turning into an annual thing…click here to see last year’s video reveal!)

Penny jars with mug shots of the Super PTO President and Parent Volunteer Extraordianaire attached are stationed in the library at the school, as well as at the reception desk inside Grassroots a Salon.

At school, students are bringing their loose change to drop into the penny jar of their choice…voting with their change, to get one of the two ‘in need of a makeover’ candidates the change they’re after.

Stop in to the salon to see the candidates! (One has a whole lot of hair…and well, one doesn’t) …and if you have any loose change, take a look at the mug shots on the side of the penny jar…you’ll see from their expressions that dropping your $ in the jar will be much appreciated! Change for Change! How GREAT is that?

Change (paper money work great, too!) is being collected between now and next Saturday (Feb. 19th) when the WINNER will be announced and the MAKEOVER will take place.

Deb has her creative wheels spinning and is honored and excited to be involved in this brilliant hair raising event.

BIG Thanks to Jen for her magnificent commitment and unwavering creative and organizational skills!

It all started a few weeks back with some compliments and some wishes from some teachers that they could get a makeover.

A great client of mine, Jennifer Peterson is the media specialist at Butte des Morts Elementary in Menasha. When she returned to school following her hair appointment with me, her fellow staff members responded with ooo’s and aaah’s. They stated they wished they could get a makeover too.
