It’s national and its only five bucks. For what you ask? Join Empire Beauty School’s National Day of Beauty with CUT IT OUT, a grassroots organization that brings attention to domestic abuse issues in our nation. Seeing October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Empire Beauty Schools plan to gift 100% of all the proceeds from their National Day of Beauty towards local women’s shelters. If you’re desperate for a trim this steal screams you.

Empire Beauty Schools, the nation’s largest provider of cosmetology education, is no stranger to doing good deeds …for the past several years they’ve raised nearly a half-million dollars via Empire Gives Back and National Day of Beauty.

Details: Saturday, October 24, 2009, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., visit one of 88 Empire Beauty Schools across the country. Head to Empire.edu to locate a salon near you, and EmpireGivesBack.com for more information.
