Christanna’s Salon & Day Spa in Vero Beach

recently held a “hair-raising” event, collecting hair donations

to benefit

Locks of Love.

This event was held on Monday, August 11th at Christanna’s Salon & Day Spa in Vero Beach. Salon owner, Nancy Demeter, and three of her talented hairstylists, Jolene Grant, Dee Kimberlin, and Crystal Stokes donated their time, not to just cut the hair of 10 generous donors, but also transform their looks, all to benefit a very worthy cause. Additional hair donations were also received at the event, which brought the number of donated ponytails to 13, totaling166 inches of hair. The longest single ponytail donated at Christanna’s was over 18 inches!

The reasons for giving their hair varied for each person who donated. Berit Fagan of Vero Beach, who donated 11 inches of hair, explained “I started growing my hair (to donate to Locks of Love) when a friend’s daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately she is no longer with us and I wanted to do this to honor her.”
