Gold Series From Pantene And Royal Oils By Head & Shoulders Launch The Salon Give Back Grant Program
Saturday, July 25, 2020
$200,000 in Grants Awarded to Support 20 Black Female Salon Owners & Stylists During COVID-19 Shutdowns
LOS ANGELES, July 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold Series from Pantene and Royal Oils by Head & Shoulders, along with media partner Mirror Digital, a multicultural digital publisher network, have collaborated to support Black female salon owners and stylists whose businesses have been impacted by COVID-19.
The Salon Give Back Grant Program awarded 20 grants of $10,000 each, for a total of $200,000, to provide economic relief during these challenging times. The teams behind Gold Series and Royal Oils are committed to helping these salon owners and stylists reopen and rebuild during the pandemic and to elevating Black women through entrepreneurship.
While all businesses have been disrupted by the global pandemic and "Safer at Home" directives, businesses owned by women of color have been especially impacted. Beauty salons occupy sacred space in the lives of Black women and are often a means of financial independence for the owners and their families.
"Salons and stylists are essential to our community," said Lela Coffey, Vice President of P&G Multicultural Beauty. "We hope these grants enable stylists to continue to do the work they love, safely."
Grammy Award-winning singer Monica and Influencers Nikki Walton (Curly Nikki), Claire Sulmers (Fashion Bomb Daily), Megz, and Amina Marie serve as ambassadors for The Salon Give Back Grant program, amplifying the message to the community. Reflect Beauty, a Mirror Digital media platform that celebrates the beauty of women of color, hosted the grant program at ReflectBeauty.com and announced the Grant recipients on July 15th.
"We are proud to amplify this special initiative," said Sheila Marmon, Founder of Mirror Digital and Reflect Beauty. "The Salon Give Back Grant Program aligns with our commitment to supporting diverse content creators and communities."
