October is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness month. Sadly, about 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over her lifetime. As hairstylists, we have all had our own personal experiences with this terrible disease. Sometimes, we are some of the first people to find out when a client/friend will be going through treatments in which she will lose her hair. Some of us have comforted, cried with, and shaved the heads of these brave, strong women. This disease hits particularly close to home for those in our profession.

This year, we decided we want to make even more of a difference as a team, and we can be even more impactful with your help!

During the month of October we will be selling raffle tickets at the studio for a grand prize that includes items from Mara Hair and Mode Studio and other local businesses of Old Town Fairfax. All the proceeds of the tickets will go this cause. In addition to the raffle, we will be donating 10% of all dress, hair accessory, and certain Bumble and Bumble product sale proceeds as well.

On October 26th, we will culminate our month of dedication and fundraising with our first annual Catwalk for Breast Cancer, a hair and fashion event where our team will each have the opportunity to showcase their individual talent. The raffle prize winner will be announced at this event and on our Instagram.

If you can't stop by our studio this month to purchase raffle tickets but would still like to donate to our cause, you can donate on this page via the button above that says "Donate Now".

With your help, we can really make a difference and help find a cure for this disease that affects so many women and families.

Thank you for your continued support and loyalty.
