WE NEED YOUR HELP!
In 20 years of Mannequins Making a Difference, we’ve never had this many Mini Mannequins participating… and that’s a wonderful problem to have!
This year, 64 children will be helping bring our designers’ visions to life, and we’re looking for talented hairstylists, makeup artists, and beauty professionals to help make the magic happen.
We’re only asking for a commitment to 4 children total:�✨ 2 children on Thursday, July 16�✨ 2 children on Friday, July 17
Hair and makeup can be done in your salon at your convenience before the event. Costumes are provided, and the looks are fun, creative, and age-appropriate.
As a thank-you, you and/or your salon will be recognized during the event, and your contribution will help create an unforgettable experience for these children.
Not currently working in a salon but love doing hair and makeup? We’d love to have your help too!
Please PM us for details and help us bring 64 Mini Mannequins to life! ❤️
