A Good Haircut

My name is Ashton, and I am a WYN mentor. Yesterday I had the opportunity to take my mentee to have her hair done at Haircut 101. This was such a fun and exciting moment, especially because we were able to share it together! The cosmetologists at the salon were so welcoming and made it special for her. But the best part of the experience was watching her smile at herself in the mirror, which is something that doesn't happen often. 

While looks aren't the most important thing, feeling good about yourself and comfortable in your own skin definitely is! I was able to do this with her thanks to the generous donations from various businesses in our community. WYN took part in the Back to School Fest this year, which provided school supplies and haircuts to children in Watauga County.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of those involved in the Back to School Festival, and thanks to Haircut 101 for making this experience so special for my mentee!
