Local Salon Competition to Raise Money, Awareness

Hair Games is a competitive “Project Runway meets American Idol” charity fundraiser.

This is the ultimate local hair throw down where 12 of Sacramento’s top salons shampoo, cut and design their way to the title of “Style Champion.”

Hair Games is scheduled for four consecutive Saturdays from April 25 through May 16 with a grand finale on May 30. All events will be held in Sacramento.

Each night of the competition, three salons use models, dancers and designers to face-off in a five-minute routine of music, sound, vision and theatrics, all featuring crazy and wild hair. The winners from each Saturday’s semi-final event will move on to the finale to compete for the title of “Style Champion.”

This year’s proceeds will benefit widows and children orphaned by the AIDs epidemic in Africa through Village Care International (VCI). VCI is a local nonprofit that supports orphans and widows in small African villages.

Hair Games is coordinated by JoAnn Baumert, owner of Bella Toscana Salon and Patty Neher, Maly’s product distributor. For more information, contact JoAnn at (916) 600-5289 or Patty at (916) 718-7192.
