One of my clients — a local lawyer — offered to help formalize it. Together, we created a small non-profit we called The Mirror Project, built on a simple idea: that sometimes, restoring someone’s reflection can help restore their spirit.
The program grew fast. Other salons joined in. We partnered with women’s shelters, cancer centers, and nursing homes. Every month, teams of stylists volunteered to cut hair, paint nails, and, more importantly, remind people they mattered.
