The owner and celebrity stylist, Clark Russell, who is also a retired Veteran of the US Navy, came up with the idea when his client Sally Mancino was in the salon donating for their recent food drive for the Contra Costa County Food Bank. Sally, whose son is an active Marine, is also part of the Blue Star Moms Group which aids troops overseas.
The salon is encouraging their clients and members of the community to donate this season to the troops and for "Toys for Tots". All toys for the "Toys for Tots" program may be dropped off at Clark Russell Salon before December 18.
