A Back Bay salon is styling the hair of homeless women for free
“You just remember you’re a woman,’’ said a client.
Homeless women are too busy seeking food and shelter to think much about their hair.
So when a salon offers the women a free cut, color, or blow-dry, it’s a rare and welcome luxury.
Green Tangerine Spa & Salon in the Back Bay has teamed up with Women’s Lunch Place, a nearby day shelter, to provide services to homeless women once a month, reports The Boston Globe.
“We feel very strongly that it prepares them for moving forward in their lives,’’ Elizabeth Keeley, executive director of Women’s Lunch Place, told the Globe.
Green Tangerine has pampered more than 100 Women’s Lunch Place clients so far.
“You just remember you’re a woman,’’ Diane Wayne, 62, a woman from Women’s Lunch Place, told the Globe.
