the greater nc giveback
Please join us in supporting our fundraiser for the Hairdressers of Asheville and the Western North Carolina region who have been deeply affected by Hurricane Helene. Many salons have suffered severe damage, and with relief efforts still underway—coupled with a lack of supplies and water—their futures remain uncertain. Led by Dre Donoghue, Left Brain Group Artist and Asheville resident, we’ve come together to raise funds for these professionals in need. We’ve gathered incredible prizes from The Left Brain Group, fellow artists, and our community, including products, education, mentorship calls, and more. All proceeds will go directly to the affected salons listed in the salon section. Thank you for your support, and we hope you enjoy the prizes while giving back to those who need us most right now.
