Earlier this week, VAIN participated in Planned Parenhood’s Chic For Choice event.
VAIN senior stylist Jenny Slay donating her time
With a generous matching grant from the Gates Foundation, VAIN + other local salons raised over $8000 dollars. There was great hair, great treats [thank you Cupcake Royale!] and best of all a great cause. Planned Parenthood has earmarked these proceeds for Suzanne’s Fund. As our owner Victoria explained it, “This will go to building a pre and post natal care clinic in a rural area where there is no other option for women’s health care. Not no better option. No option. This money will help save lives.”
Thank you to everyone who participated – Alexis, Sarah B., Jenn C., Janae, Megyn, Scarlet, Aran, Bash, Jenny, David, Carly, Cheri, and our front desk superstar Courtney. A huge thank you to everyone who came to make donations and get an awesome haircut – this event could not have happened without your participation!
If you’d like to make a donation but didn’t have a chance to join us on Monday, you can still do so online via Planned Parenthood’s website. For more photos from the event, check out VAIN’s flickr page.
And, as always, you can look chic at VAIN any ol’ time. Call us at 206.441.3441 to schedule with us Downtown, or 206.706.2707 for our Ballard location.
