Clementine’s Salon (ranked by Elle magazine as one of the top two salons in Colorado) is offering a special promotion to contribute funds to breast cancer research. For ALL Sara Happ products purchased during the month of October, Clementine’s will donate $5 to Susan G. Komen Colorado.

Bumble & Bumble will also donate $5 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation for every Pret-a-powder sold (Clementine’s is a Bumble & Bumble exclusive salon).

Side note: I met Dani Everson (owner along with her husband) years ago through the fashion scene here in Denver and just fell in love with her bubbly energy and calming spirit. She’s a ray of sunshine in our city and it is so awesome to see her and her Clementine’s team thrive!

Clementine’s is located at 2009 W 33rd Ave, Denver, CO 80211… Read more!
