Shear Designs Hair Studio Hosts Annual Santa Day Charity Event in Brattleboro
BRATTLEBORO, VT — Shear Designs Hair Studio, a well-established hair and tanning salon, held its annual Santa Day charity event this past Saturday, affirming the salon’s commitment to community service and support for families in need. The event has become a beloved tradition in Brattleboro, attracting families and community members seeking to contribute to a noble cause while enjoying a festive atmosphere.
Starting promptly at 10 a.m. and running until 2 p.m., Santa Claus greeted excited children, posing for cherished photographs and distributing holiday treats and surprises. This engaging experience was made even more special by the efforts of the salon’s team of skilled stylists, who provided discounted haircuts to children, ensuring they looked their best for their Christmas portraits with Santa.
Joy Boyd, the owner of Shear Designs, emphasized the significance of this event not just for fundraising but also for strengthening community bonds. “It takes a considerable amount of effort to organize this event each year,” Boyd remarked. “However, witnessing the joy on the faces of the children and knowing we’re making a difference for local families is profoundly rewarding.”
In the lead-up to the event, Boyd and her team dedicated their time to collecting toys and fundraising to support families who may be struggling during the holiday season. Boyd extended her gratitude to local supporter Ken Bloom and acknowledged the hard work of her stylists for their selfless contributions. “I’m incredibly proud of my team,” she stated. “Their willingness to donate their time and the proceeds from today’s events allows us to make a significant impact on many families’ holiday experiences.”
Shear Designs Hair Studio & Tanning has been a cornerstone of the Brattleboro community for nearly 30 years, operating from its location at 735 Putney Road. The studio has established itself not only as a place for personal grooming and tanning but as a hub for community engagement and philanthropy.
