Local Salon Supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month with 'Blow Out'

Van Michael Salon and the Pink Heals Foundation are proud to announce the continuation of their Breast Cancer Awareness partnership with the “Blow Out To End Breast Cancer” campaign. 

Throughout the month of October, clients may choose from a menu of premium blow dry styles with a $5 donation to Pink Heals Foundation. 

Hand selected by Van Michael Salon experts, the celebrity-inspired blow dry styles represent the most requested and hottest hair trends for fall, and showcase the most important trend of all . . . supporting Breast Cancer Awareness.

“Van Michael Salon has long-supported Breast Cancer Awareness month through the global initiatives of Aveda.  Last year, our partnership with Pink Heals Foundation allowed our employees and clients to come together to support cancer survivors in our own community. We are proud to continue our efforts, and look forward to joining with the Atlanta community to blow cancer away,” said Susan Dykstra, CEO of Van Michael Salon.

Founder and executive director of Pink Heals Foundation, Lisa Vingerling added, "As an organization dedicated to helping young cancer survivors feel beautiful, Pink Heals Foundation is thrilled to partner with the talented team at Van Michael Salon, who have been making Atlantans feel beautiful for 28 years."

Van Michael Salon will also continue to support Aveda’s global Breast Cancer Awareness fundraising efforts through the sale of the Limited-Edition Pink Ribbon Hand Relief moisturizing lotion.

Aveda will donate $4 from each sale of the product to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation to fund environmental research to help find a cure. The Limited-Edition Pink Ribbon Hand Relief is available for purchase at all five locations for $21.00 (5 oz. tube).
