WASHINGTON DC: Bang Salon to Host Salon-a-Thon to Benefit Orlando Shooting Victims

Look good while doing good and help make a difference with only one hairstyle. Bang Salon, the full-service Washington, DC hair salon, will host an 8-hour Salon-A-Thon on Sunday, July 17 from 10 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. at all of its DC locations. This year’s effort is to bring comfort and support to the victims and families of the recent Orlando mass shootings at Pulse Night Club. Previously, Bang Salon’s annual charity hair-styling fundraiser donated to various local cancer research organizations. This year, Bang Salon is hosting its sixth hair-styling Salon-A-Thon in support of Florida’s LGBT community, with 100 percent of proceeds from each hairstyle donated to the Pulse Victims Fund of Orlando organized by Equality Florida – a nonprofit education and advocacy organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Complimentary champagne, mimosas and scrumptious small appetizers will be served to participants throughout the day.

All four DC Bang Salon locations will participate in the Salon-A-Thon with Bang’s full suite of hair-styling service available, including haircuts, trims, blowouts, color, style and deep conditioning treatments. Customers can make appointments, for any service, starting now. Each location’s address and phone number are listed below.

“Our hearts go out the victims and families of the horrific shootings in Orlando, so this year’s fundraiser is in efforts to support them. For more than eight hours, Bang stylists will donate their time, energy and hair-cutting talents for such an important cause,” says Nikki Esoldo, co-owner of Bang Salon. “Bang has always been a welcoming place for LGBT Washingtonians. We stand with the entire Orlando LGBT community in the wake of this tragedy.”
