Wella’s Hairdressers at Heart initiative is teaming up with OPIfor its inaugural Cut-A-Thon event on Wednesday, November 16 at Wella Studio LA, 6109 Desoto Ave. in Woodland Hills, California. Hairdressers at Heart believes in the power of beauty to inspire lasting change in the community, and the Cut-A-Thon will raise critical funds and awareness for Safe Place for Youth, known as S.P.Y., a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization that provides lasting solutions for young people facing homelessness.

During the event, a team of Wella Top Artists, stylists at Wella partner salons and OPI educators will use their skill, creativity and artistic expertise to provide attendees and donors with hair and nail services, including blow-outs, cut, color and manicures from 2-9 p.m. All services are being provided for a suggested donation, and all proceeds will go to supporting S.P.Y.’s mission. The Hairdressers at Heart Cut-A-Thon is a great opportunity for individuals to support a cause that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable youth in the Greater Los Angeles are, while also gaining access to some of the industry’s top hair and nail artists.

 “Hairdressers at Heart’s mission is rooted in supporting the professional education of beauty and salon professionals everywhere, as well as empowering the work they do to improve and enrich their communities,” said Christina Soffin, Director, North American Education Operations and Studios. “With our first-ever Hairdressers at Heart Cut-A-Thon, we get to bring the worlds of professional beauty and charity together, raising funds to help young people dealing with the struggles of homelessness, while also shining a light on this important issue.”
