A few Valley salons are hosting benefits to raise money for charities. A quick look at details, plus phone numbers if you want more information …
All month long, MANE ATTRACTION (and other salons that sell Bumble and bumble products) will donate $3 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for each 10-ounce bottle of Classic Bumble Hairspray sold. The salon is at 3156 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix. Information: (602) 956-2996 or www.maneattraction.com.
SALON ESTIQUE is hosting a Bring Your Own Blow Dryer night 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 18 to benefit the Entertainment Industry Foundation Women’s Cancer Programs. Clients who book a $40 appointment will more than get their money back: They’ll receive a Bumble and bumble conditioning treatment valued at $35 and shampoo, followed by blow-dry and styling technique lessons (read: no haircuts), plus a gift bag worth $50. Clients can bring dryers, curling and flat irons and brushes to learn how to do right what what they’ve got at home. There will also be mini spa samplings, manicures and brow design, chair massages, makeup touchups, wine and cheese. The salon is at 40 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix. Appointments and information: (602) 248-0077.PAR EXSALONCE in north Scottsdale lets you stock up on mini-treatments, offering two for $35. The menu of 10- to 15-minute treats: massage, body treatment, makeup, hair fluff or polish change. And no appointments — they’re first come, first served. Money raised will go to Sing for Life Breast Cancer Association of Arizona. I might go to the event, 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 22, just for the food, which will be provided by Sol y Sombra (my favorite, favorite restaurant on earth right now, especially because of the chorizo tapas). Desserts and coffee will be from Wicked Bakery, and Soul Survivors, a group of breast cancer survivors and loved ones, will sing. The salon is at Market Street at DC Ranch, 20707 N. Pima Road, Scottsdale. Information: (480) 860-0717 or www.parexsalonceaz.com.
Maybe you want an Arizona Cardinals player to do your hair instead? ROLF’S SALONS will host Making the Cut 3, a fund-raiser for Cardinals Charities, 5 to 9 p.m. Oct. 23 at Rolf’s at Gainey Village, 8787 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale. The $80 appointments include a haircut and blow-dry, plus a Kerastase "in-salon ritual" by a Rolf’s stylist, with Cardinals players and cheerleaders helping out — yes, even in the rinse bowl. The night also will include spa samplings, catering from Michael’s at the Citadel, and prizes. Appointments and information: (480) 730-3130.
