Need a haircut? You might want to consider holding out through the weekend until Monday, April 28, when Beauty hosts its "Grandmothers Beyond Borders" fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Cuts are $45 and styles are $35, but all the stylists volunteer their services and all the money goes to Grandmothers Beyond Borders, a Milwaukee-based charity supporting matriarchs in Uganda rearing their own grandchildren who have lost their parents due to the AIDS epidemic. The funds will help directly impact four villages in the Kampala region of Uganda.
The event includes a raffle of gift certificates to Café Hollander and local businesses. Call Beauty Eastside, 1633 N. Farwell Ave., (414) 276-5054 to schedule an appointment.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
