All participants can choose from the following services: manicures, facial waxing, highlights, haircuts, chair massages, updos and makeovers. All services are free of charge!

                All services are donated by local talent from various Atlanta salons.

(Thanks Mr. Steve Hightower! Your staff was amazing and thanks for those goody bags!!)

Due to the size of this event, I am in serious need of more volunteers in the following areas: 

• Stylists- who can cut & color ethnic and non ethnic hair. I want all my kids who are getting hair services to get a deep cleanse, deep conditioning treatment and a very cool updo/braid style that they can wear for awhile! So definitely need stylists who can work on "natural" hair.
  
• You must bring your own: cutting tools, styling tools, cutting cape, color cape, lot's of business cards to hand out to all of your "clients".
• All backbar & styling products will be donated by The Paul Mitchell School.
  

• Makup Artists- very basic makeup application only. (You must bring your own: tools, makeup, lot's of business cards to hand out to all of your "clients").
  
  
  

• Nail Techs- very basic nail polish application only. (will have some supplies on-site but need to bring own "tools") 
  
  
  
  

• Massage Therapists- only doing 15-20 minute chair massages. This service has become extremely popular in the last few years. For most attendees, this is their first experience with massage. If you do not have a chair, please let me know and I will arrange for a rental. Kneads Inc (Thanks Ron!) has donated a few rental chairs for the day(need own massage chair). 
  
  

• Estheticians- only facial waxing is offered (will most likely have several wax pots there along with supplies, but never hurts to have your own!) 
  
  

• Assistants- I am hoping to have one assistant for every 3-4 stylists to help with: shampoo, color application, finishes. This will help expedite the stylists and make sure they are able to stay on time. We are on a very tight schedule and the kids have to be back on the buses at 12:30. 
  

• Runners- you will assist the "service technicians" will any of their needs/problems. Help assist teachers with their students etc.

• Photographers- I love candid shots and would love to have more photographers to be able to catch all of the great moments throughout the day. 
  

• DJ- I would love to have music again at this years event.
                                          

Along with needing volunteers to perform the services, I am also in need of the following items so I can provide breakfast and lunch for all participants along with all of my great volunteers:

• Breakfast Items- bagels/cream cheese, muffins, biscuits, jams and jellies.
• Lunch Items- sandwiches, wraps, hot and cold plates, hot dogs, hamburgers etc.
  
• Snack Type Items- chips, salsa's, chip dip, fresh fruit, veggies platters and finger food items.
• Dessert- anything with chocolate and is ooey gooey will do! :)
• Beverages- liters/cans of soda, powdered drink mixes, juices, coffee & tea.
• Plastic Cutlery/Paper Goods- silverware, plates, napkins and cups.
• Decorations- helium balloons, tablecloth covers, streamers etc.
• Items For Goody Bags- coupons from your business, gift cards, any leftover sample items you no longer need, toys, leftover products from your store you no longer are in need of. These bags are all given to the students ALONG with their hard working teachers to remember their big day by. This also helps them to recognize who in their community supports their special children and their hard working teachers. 
  
• Door prizes- I thought it would be fun to have door prizes for the volunteers to win. Can you part with a gift certificate from your business? Make up a goody basket that can be given away? Please let me know!

• Misc items: tables, chairs, line rope (like rope you would find at a bank or concert venue to help direct people and keep them in proper lines)

With that being said, I would like to say a special "Thank You" to the following contributors who have sponsored my event year after year.

A HUMONGOUS "Thanks" goes of course to- The Paul Mitchell School Atlanta. With their amazing staff (pictured below) and their awesome students. With their speed in all the behind the scenes set up, their attentiveness to the needs of all participants and their great, positive energy they gave to my event. 

Thank you for opening your doors to me and my event when you didn't know what to expect. Thank you for taking a humongous leap of faith!!

I want to just say "Thank You" to all who have been there in the past and continue to come year after year. I also want to acknowledge those who have put their faith in me and my event by coming this year and showing up to the unexpected. Thank you for believing!

And then I have a very "special" thank you that goes out to my wonderful husband, Greg Owczarski. Without his help, I would never be able to even dream of something as big and adventurous as this. You are amazing and I am so lucky to have you by my side, as my rock. All my love, muaahhh! :D

Thank you all so very much!
