Hair Cuttery takes autism personally
by Beth
I just found out that Hair Cuttery keeps an Official Hair Cuttery Blog. And guess what? Last Monday they blogged about us!
Throughout Autism Awareness Month in April, consumers can visit more than 900 Hair Cuttery salons nationwide to “Act For Autism” to support Easter Seals services for families living with autism in their communities. Hair Cuttery fundraising throughout the country will include point-of-sale consumer donations.
Dennis Rather, Founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery, is quoted in the post saying that Hair Cuttery salons across the country are “truly ready to ‘Act For Autism’ since many in our Hair Cuttery family have been personally touched by the condition.” A story I read in the Arlington Patch speaks to that point:
Hair Cuttery stylist Lisa Boule has dealt with autism personally.
“When my son was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, at the age of six, I knew my whole life would change,” said Boule, who took three years off to help her son with his diagnosis.
“My son and I always try to do something in April for autism, and I was extremely excited when I found out that Hair Cuttery was committed to the cause as well,” said Boule.
The Hair Cuttery store that Lisa Boule works in is located in Arlington, Massachusetts. She was also quoted in the story saying how pleased she is to work for a company that supports such a personal cause.
“My hope is that, with the help of Hair Cuttery employees and customers across the state and nationwide, people will begin to understand autism and the challenges families like mine deal with every day,” she said.
Amen to that.
