Holiday Hairstyle for the Haven 2021

It is Hair to dye for

Good morning Norwich,

This is a story about an event that is to ‘Dye’ for. The above poster tells the story and I have included a photo essay from last years event. The amount raised was $ 3450.00.

Here is hoping that this years donations will surpass that amount, as we all know how difficult this year has been and there is certainly a need for this assistance and knowing that it is for an excellent cause.

Here is the announcement for this years event.

Welcome to Ledyard’s #19 Days of Norwich Holiday Hair for the Haven contest!

Yes, that's Nico Bekker, our Norwich branch manager, and you get to choose what hair color he'll have this holiday season!

Contest starts December 1st. You can make donations through the Drive Up of the Norwich Branch of Ledyard National Bank (any branch will gladly accept your donation and forward it to Norwich). Cash or checks made payable to the Upper Valley Haven and choose a color. The color that collects the most money, wins.

Call or email the Norwich branch at (802) 649-2050 with any questions you may have, Nico's team (Joni, and Nichole) will be quite pleased to help you!

The color that collected the most votes was Green and so now we follow Nico to the Omnia Hair Studio for a cut, wash, and color which will be done by the owner and stylist Kymberly Byerly.

Nico before the big event

He is given his assigned seat

And the consultation begins

And so the decision is made to go green!

Are you sure ?

And it is off to the wash station

Next is a neat little haircut

See how neat it looks

And now the fun begins

Is it oil base or latex?

Too late now Nico

With nice even brush strokes to make sure nothing is missed

And now for the final unveiling

Ta-dah!

I checked back with Nico after the event and things seemed somewhat normal, and he was back to banking. Well done, Kimberly!

Photos were taken by me and two were taken via selfie mode at the studio

Thanks for reading,
