The Sexy Hair family has held walk-a-thons, cut-a-thons, and warehouse sales to fundraise and support the good work happening through Look Good, Feel Better.
“Giving back has always been part of our culture,” Karl Heinz Pitsch, Sexy Hair president and CEO says. “We believe that caring is sexy. The mission of Look Good, Feel Better aligns with what we do, too. We both want to empower women to be their best selves.”
Ambassador for Look Good, Feel Better, ovarian cancer survivor and America's Got Talent contestant Calysta Beviermoved the crowd to tears with a performance of the Sia song, “Titanium,” which champions the power of inner strength.
Prior to the party, Jennifer Weiderman, vice president of marketing and education for Sexy Hair, Sloane La Martina, Director of Communications and Pitsch met with the press to introduce some of the 2017 product launches and initiatives, including a new marketing campaign and social media challenge.
“Our new imagery features the model in a stylist’s red chair, sending the message that our focus is on the professional,” Pitsch says. “We also show more elaborate, artistic hair because we were really inspired by our teams and their talent.”
