CHARITY AT THE CUTTING EDGE By Shaz Harrison, Need a Feed founder
On July 1, Wollongong’s Sebelle Salon owner Lina Sorrentino opened up her salon and donated her service and time on her day off to cut, wash and blow dry 10 of our Need a Coffee friends’ hair. This is the second time her and co-worker Blair Pincham have done this for our Need a Coffee friends and, since seeing the difference she is making, she has decided to make it a regular event. Seeing the smiles on the faces of people who haven’t had their hair done in a salon for up to 35 years was fantastic. The ripple effect of having this salon experience has carried on for those who came in last time, they are still walking taller, feeling more confident and happier. This experience really makes you think about how easy it is to take such things for granted. Everyone deserves to feel good inside and out, what an amazing example of great community spirit; everyone deserves to feel nice and enjoy such an experience. 2515
