RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Raleigh hair salon Blo is giving back while shutdown. The salon is giving away free hair color to existing clients while suggesting a donation for the nonprofit No Kid Hungry NC.
“It’s just part of our values, you know. We’ve got inventory here that we’re not using. We’ve got a lot of staff that are home that do a cut-a-thon every year that got interrupted,” said Bryan Nunes, Blo salon owner. “It’s a 24-hour cut-a-thon that we put on every year and it got canceled. And so the overwhelming response that we got from this was incredible. So, we decided to just add a suggested donation.”
