NPSS cosmetology students offering hair care for evacuees
The cosmetology program at the North Peace Secondary School through Northern Lights College has opened its doors to evacuees looking for hair care during their stay in Fort St. John.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The cosmetology program at the North Peace Secondary School through Northern Lights College has opened its doors to evacuees looking for hair care during their stay in Fort St. John.
Kara Myllymaki, the head of the cosmetology program, wanted to extend services to evacuees, including hair washes, blow dries, curl sets and basic trim haircuts for free.
The students and Myllymaki are available for bookings during school hours by appointment only and for reasonable-priced hair colouring services. These services are not included in the free services being offered to evacuees.
Myllymaki hopes to provide some hair care and pampering for people interested in the Fort St. John area.
“Just in case they’re living out of their RV or something and the water pressure is not as good, just [as] a little treat, and it’s on the house,” Myllymaki said.
Interested evacuees are required to book in advance with Myllymaki over the phone by calling the school at 250-785-4429 and dialling extension 317.
