New Leaf of Hope
Mission
Larry’s Hair Designers is dedicated to the traditions of quality service, education, discipline of art, and community participation, and in 2008 is initiating its new expansion plan to continue to serve the community, further the art of salon styling by training future generations of dedicated barbers, designers, and stylists, and to honor the traditions under which owner Larry Housden himself was groomed. The mission – and passion – of Larry’s Hair Designers is to give back through hard work, dedication to craft, and concern and assistance for those in need.
Our New Leaf project is a “sprout of hope from the seeds of kindness”.
For The NEEDY in our Neighborhoods
As many of you may already have read, I am sponsoring the New Leaf project for the needy in our area. To launch the onset of our 2009 business strategy, we have elected to begin with a special monthly event focused on charitable work in our area. The salon will open its doors to the needy on the second Monday of every month. The purpose is to give them a chance to “turn over a new leaf”, or just to have much-needed care and grooming. In the upcoming year, the salon proposes to hold a job fair (s) in conjunction with this hair care service, focusing on educational opportunities, such as trade school, continued education, helping to place interns, and providing potential job opportunities for youth entering the job market. Attendees will receive grooming, and “glad bags”, filled with hygiene products, information, and items such as pre-paid phone cards and bus passes. Our first event will be held on December 8, 2008. We feel that this event will be one of the first “Pay-it-forward” programs in our area.
- We will be able to service 125 hair care services on the needy.

We have elected also to invite guest stylists to participate as “special guest appearances” and Larry’s is sponsoring student stylists from local affiliate schools as they move toward degree certification. On December 8, We will be featuring student stylists from Heritage Institute schools as they move toward degree certification.
This event will be covered and featured through local and national media and New Leaf has acquired a titled VEOH channel (A New Leaf Video Channel | Veoh Video Network), which gives the campaign 24/7 webcast capability.
The salon doors open at 10 AM - to 6 PM. First come - first served.

We are requesting from our friends, neighbors, local churches, government agencies, non profit, and not for profit agencies support in the way of word of mouth to those in your own congregation, office, or clientele that need assistance. Reaching the needy, the poor, the “I need a haircut or I’ll loose my job”, the “I need a hair cut for this interview so I can get a job”, the children of those down trodden that need to see someone cares, that is the purpose of New Leaf. Each individual can also sponsor a hair cut for the needy. Sponsor a Hair Cut. It only takes a minute…. Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! It doesn’t have to be the whole $21. Larry’s is asking 1,050 people to donate $2.50 each. You can stop by the salon, or mail in your donation, to sponsor hair care to the homeless, needy, less fortunate and underprivileged today.
Remember, The salon doors open at 10 AM - to 6 PM. First come - first served.
