Thirteen guests of Eddy Shelter and Logano Place receive professional haircuts, manicures, massages, y más!

On Wednesday, Diciembre 23, 13 guests of the Eddy Shelter participated in the first-ever Spa Day at Eddy. Participants received chair massages, manicures, haircuts and styling, and makeup applications donated by community volunteers and staff. Many of the guests had never had a professional haircut, professional massage, or manicure and were thrilled to have the opportunity to be pampered in that way. The Spa Day was inspired by a larger event held at Ascencia Homeless Shelter in Glendale, California.


Many, many thanks to Libby Carrier, owner of Main Street Massage in Portland, por la donación de los masajes. Gracias también a Susan Ardolino de Reflexiones Hair Studio por la donación de champú y acondicionadores, capes and curling irons for the day, Sarah Wiliarty and helpers who donated $50 toward the purchase of gift bag items, and Stephanie Huffman, owner, and Corinne Gingras, manager/stylist of Echo Salon in Guilford, who donated hair products for the goody bags.

Muchos miembros del personal han contribuido a hacer el día memorable y divertido. Un agradecimiento especial a Gerente de Subvenciones Denice Calabrese, que había sido un peluquero profesional y aún mantiene su licencia. Denice tenía un programa completo de 13 cortes de pelo y estaba ocupado todo el día. Thanks also to Mackenzie Tyson and Lee Anne Borkowski for organizing the day’s events and taking photographs and videos; Nadia Karachristos and Mackenzie Tyson for donating their manicuring skills; Nicole Bajek for applying makeup to all the women participants; Claire Bien for logo design and photography; and Beth Connor, Lisa Hansen, y Nanci Jutras proporciona asistencia general.
