AurA Salon & Spa invites the community to indulge in some organic Aveda primping and pampering – all for a good cause – Sunday, April 27. The high-end salon shuts down for the day and slashes its prices to benefit local cancer patient Emily Reese, who recently relapsed with colon cancer and is undergoing a second round of chemotherapy. Haircuts are offered from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a minimum donation of $15 for men’s dry cuts, $25 for men’s full service cuts, $25 for women’s dry cuts and $40 for full service women’s cuts. All proceeds benefit Reese.
No appointment is necessary during the Cut-A-Thon, which is an annual occurrence at AurA. The salon has previously donated funds to pediatric cancer patients and other people struggling with the disease. The salon is located at 2323 Kietzke Lane in Reno, inside Franktown Corners. Additional donations are also being accepted during the event and raffle prizes are awarded including an iPad, Aveda gift baskets, dining gift cards and more.
Reese is a mother of three and former English teacher at Rainshadow Charter High School. She is also a client of the salon, which is how owner Janelle Norris learned of her circumstances.
“Everyone in the community has been touched at one time or another by cancer and I believe that it’s our responsibility to do what we can to help others,” said Norris. “This event is one of my favorite of the year and I commend all of our stylists and staff for donating their time and talents to help Emily. I hope to see a great turnout again this year.”
