We were blessed with a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of a special event. A Future Professional and myself had the chance to share time and space with an angel to help make her prom night most memorable. When we were presented with this chance, Bobby and myself felt honored to be asked to help. I myself lost a parent to breast cancer, and Bobbi has expressed that he had a family member that suffered from cancer as well. We both felt like this cause was very close to our hearts, and knew how gratifying it would be to have the chance to brighten her night.
We began the night with speaking with the director of the event who showed us Ashley’s wigs that were to be cut and discussed with us her itinerary for the night. I brought along a friend with us, Lisa Renkin, to use as a model to try on the wigs as I cut them. Ashley had three wig choices for that night, and Bobbi and I performed most of the cuts in the upstairs bathroom of the dance hall. “
We were told that we can now go meet Ashley in her hospital room by the director of the event. When we walked in, we were introduced to this stunning young lady with a smile like an angel! She had flawless skin, and blue eyes that looked like the ocean waters. There was a calming, welcoming spirit about the room. Her mom, dad, and sister, along with others, were in the room as well. We discussed her dress choices, her wig selections, and what would look best for her. I then put each wig on her and we made decisions from there. She and her family were pleased with the decisions and were happy to have our professional help. We then had a little fun in her room with me giving a one on one cutting class with Ashley. I tried on each of her wigs, and refining them on myself as instructor/ model, and everyone enjoyed the show.
The dance hall was decorated so beautifully. I was so pleased to see all of the donations from many different organizations as well as from Paul Mitchell. She arrived like a princess in a white Lexus, and was greeted on the red carpet by the media, clowns, friends, and family. It was amazing!”
We are so glad to be a part of something so special and I am very PROUD to say I work for a company that supports such events. Thank you so much Paul Mitchell for making a difference!”
