All around Lee’s Summit, residents are anticipating that special day dedicated to celebrating love.
In keeping with the theme, Salon Allure will be hosting a special Locks of Love event next Saturday, Feb. 22. “The girls and I decided that we wanted to do a community event for charity,” said owner Katie Gawell. “Locks of Love is a great charity and we thought, why not give away free haircuts” “We decided it’s just a good time to give back to someone who may need a little help,” she said. “Obviously we’re in the hair businesses and Locks of Love is right up our alley.” Gawell said people with 10-inches or more of hair can make an appointment for a free cut and style next Sunday. “We’ll take care of everything,” she said. “We’re going to provide the official certificates and we’ll take care of sending all the hair to Locks of Love. All (participants) have to do is show up.” Gawell said the salon has never hosted this type of event, but hopes many come out to donate their hair to a worthy cause. “I really think it’s the tiny things in life that can spark a big change,” she said. “This is going to be a great event for everyone involved, I just hope people will show up and donate their hair.”
