Monday, 23 March 2009

Metro Detroit Community News Troy, MI - Queen for a Day (QFAD) and Heroes, a non-profit organization designed to raise the self-esteem and the self-confidence of children coping with cancer, is sponsoring a special day, Beauty Bash VI, at the Excel Academies of Cosmetology in Troy on Tuesday, April 7 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

A donation of $35 will buy you a combination of any two services, and a donation of $20 will buy you one service. Participants can choose from a custom facial, paraffin dip, conditioning treatment, manicure, pedicure, make-up application or a hairstyle and cut. Donors will have an opportunity to take part in a silent auction featuring items donated by local businesses, including weeklong access to an oceanfront condo (sleeps six) in Daytona Beach, Florida, collectible dolls, gift certificates, rocking chairs, various gift baskets and much more. Local vendors will also hold a craft show for attendees to enjoy. Guests do not need to use the salon services to participate in the silent auction or craft show. Other activities will include mini-massages, a free raffle and light refreshments.

Call (248) 828-9972 to book your appointment. Excel Academies of Cosmetology in Troy is located on Rochester Road, south of M-59. All proceeds will benefit the Metro Detroit Chapter of Queen for a Day and Heroes.
