Before and After Photos: Dreamcatchers Hair Extensions

Recently we had a new client visit the Balance salon with a hair crisis. She came to us with extremely damaged hair from a salon in the Washington DC area. Our Artistic Director Trisa worked closely with her to best restore her hair's health and style.

After a good cut and conditioning treatment, they decided on Dreamcatchers Hair Extensions to give her long flowing locks again. Trisa carefully matched the color and wave of her existing hair. Within a few days (using rush service), our client had an envious head of loose blonde waves.

Take a look at these dramatic before and after photos.

Bring a new, upwrapped toy for Toys for Tots

Support our community’s Toys for Tots campaign by donating a new, unwrapped toy at Balance Hair Spa. Help us fill our donation box!

Visit Chester County's local Toys for Tots website or donate online.

Not sure which toys are needed?  Here's a few tips from our local Toys for Tots Coordinator:

0 to 2 Years Infant Group
Usually have a large abundance of toys donated for this group.

3 to 7 Years Group
Always have a large abundance of toys donated, as this is the easiest group to buy for.

8 to 12 Years Group
One of our tougher groups during the collection times. This age group may be harder to buy for.  Games, arts and crafts, books and sports balls are all good for this group.

12 to 14 Years Group
This group can be extremely tough to buy things for, so donations here may be needed most. Though age-appropriate toys are expensive or tough to find, things like arts and crafts, watches, bath sets, cosmetics, books and backpacks are good things for this group.

Hurry in! Toy drop-off ends on Saturday, December 10, 2011.

Bringing the Joy of Christmas and delivering a message of Hope to needy children.
