After two hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, wreaked havoc upon
the southern U.S., many in the spa community may be
wondering how they can help. The Salon and Spa Relief
Fund is a non-profit organization established in 2005 after
Hurricane Katrina to help salon and spa owners and their employees rebuild their lives and businesses. The fund has issued

of any size are welcome. For more information, visit salonandsparelieffund.org.
