Beauty services raise cash for breast cancer, domestic violence prevention
FAIRFIELD — The text came in about 6 a.m. reading “let’s get our hair done.”
A few hours later, Corina and Cherrie Fontelera were sitting in the chairs at the Luxe Locks Extension Salon & Spa on the upper level of Solano Town Center mall.
The sisters were enjoying drastically reduced prices on a hair cut and eyelashes while raising money for The Sharon Randolph Foundation and the Advocates Against Domestic Violence in The African-American Community.
Corina Fontelera had a picture on her cellphone of the hair cut she wanted, which took off several inches.
Cherrie Fontelera was a little more conservative, opting to get a trim on her long locks.
The event was a win-win, Cherrie Fontelera said. She and her sister would leave with new looks and two nonprofits would earn some money.
The sisters said there is a history of cancer on their mother’s side of the family.
Stylists at Luxe Locks Extension Salon & Spa volunteered their time. Steven Weaver, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, cut Corina Fontelera’s hair.
Salon manager Shalon McMiller said this is the third year for the cut-a-thon that also offered pink and purple hair extensions, colors used in the fights against breast cancer and domestic violence.
“It’s something I can do to help,” she said.
