Even though it’s summer, we know that the holiday season will soon be around the corner.  Many charities begin planning months in advance to provide meaningful ways members of the community can give to those in need.  Here at Cutting Loose Salon, giving back brings excitement to one of our Master Stylists, Dawn Kast, at our Lakewood Ranch location.  Dawn has worked for salons throughout the country, but when she found Cutting Loose, she knew she was home.

Dawn shared her joy and how rewarding it is to give back during Christmas time.  The Cutting Loose Salon in Lakewood Ranch decided to host a toy drive for Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital.  This hospital provides expert pediatric care for infants, children and teens with some of the most challenging medical problems in our community and even around the world.  Most of the children would not be able to be at home for Christmas, so we wanted to gift them their wishes there.

“It is such a circle of giving at Cutting Loose Salon.  We are gifted each year with time off to spend with our families, provided with education opportunities and much more.  It is such an inspiration to give back!”  -Dawn Kast, Master Level 2

Dawn was so moved by this Cutting Loose community effort that she and her family offered to personally deliver the toys on Christmas Day.  “It was more rewarding than I could have imagined!  They say it is better to give than to receive, and I believe it.”
