As the Federal government expands the fishing ban after last month’s deadly BP explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, one Barrington hair salon has found a way to help. Jennifer Michaels Hair Studio is encouraging clients to get hair cuts this month to help save wildlife threatened by the contaminated waters.
The salon is offering $10 off for anyone who gets their hair cut on Mondays or Wednesdays this month. They’re collecting all discarded hair to send to MatterofTrust.org. Matter of Trust is an organization that is collecting hair clippings from around the world to be used to soak up the oil spil in the Gulf. They’ve even posted a video about how hair helps.
Jennifer Michaels has collected about three pounds of hair so far and they hope to send more than twice that to the Gulf of Mexico clean-up efforts by the end of this week. They’ll continue to offer $10 off hair cuts through the rest of the month and they’re hopeful their efforts will help save the wildlife suffocating in this spill.
Make sure to mention the Gulf oil spill clean-up initiative when booking your hair cut at Jennifer Michaels. You can schedule appointments by phone at 847-304.0616.
