A hair affair and a tribute too! to benefit 19 days.
A tribute to Diane's Casual Cuts and Andrea's Hair Studio (Save the date)
Here is an idea that just might make a difference in my opinion. Check out the story and make a bid. You could be a winner and that would be a plus even though you loose some hair which might be a minus. It is a hair affair after all and the money will go to a great cause. Read on and don’t forget to bid early and often.
Greetings,
A "19 Days" tribute to Diane's Casual Cuts and Andrea's Hair Studio
In the COVID pandemic, hairdressers had to close per The Governor. And for 10 weeks no one could get a haircut, these lovely ladies lost all their income. At Dan & Whit's we needed some reliable help as grocery shopping changed- so we took on Diane and Laura who were bored, missed people and we needed them!
Every year since 2013 Diane's Casual Cuts and Andrea's Hair Studio raise money for The Haven as part of The 19 Days of Norwich (and beyond) 1% for the Haven. These ladies know fundraising- in just 7 years they have raised over $100,000.00!!! Yes, $100,000.00, they go all out and wear costumes, decorate their shops and have a fun time doing it- You can hear them yelling 'It's all for the Haven" all day long down Main St.
Fri. June 19 is 6 months after "The 19 Days", and this time it is for Diane's and Andrea's. I put them up to this as my latest hair brain idea- (they might be a bit embarrassed) but they are willing to try this silly stunt.
During the 10 weeks of shut down, our customers and their customers were confused to hear their familiar voices NOT at their shop. We worked together, Norwich style, because it takes a village. We had many customers come in and ask if they could get their hair cut at Dan & Whit's.
Hair salons were able to open up again on May 29th, I had a haircut the following Wed. and asked Laura to cut my hair on the front sidewalk of Dan & Whit's because "If we don't have it, you don't need it". And a haircut at Dan & Whit's had never occurred before- this was a first.
