Think pink!

October is just around the corner, which means colder weather, a ton of seasonal products and Halloween. However, October is also the month of Breast Cancer Awareness, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.

According to the American Cancer Society, the lifetime risk of a woman in the United States of getting breast cancer is one out of eight. That means that that one woman will be facing a tough treatment regime and the unrelenting effects of cancer, which will often leave her tired, hurting, and undermine her self-esteem.

That’s why we've decided to help the brave women who are fighting or have survived this disease in the best way we can: Giving them a little pampering time! So, throughout October we will be giving complimentary "Alira Signature" facials to all breast cancer patients and survivors.

Do you know someone who might benefit from our little treat? Remember to call us first so we can book her a special appointment!

Lots of love,

Giving back is the new black

Here in Alira we believe that giving back never goes out of style, so when our lovely client Marian Sabat told us that she wanted to make a donation to Locks of Love, we couldn't be happier to be a part of such an event.

For those who don’t know, Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis by utilizing donated ponytails to provide hair prosthetics.

Seeing as Marian's hair is very healthy, the procedure was quite easy: We gave it a quick wash and then braided it until we achieved the 10 inch braid that is required by Locks of Love. 

           After everything was said and done, both Marian and I were completely ecstatic over another Alira Transformation that would help little kids in need.

          Want to make a donation to Locks of Love? Visit their site, check out their guidelines for acceptable hair donations and then give us a call to book your appointment! We’re more than happy to help and support such a great cause.

            Lots of love,
