Haircuts for Breast Cancer this Weekend at Elevation Salon

Elevation Salon + Cafe (451 Bush St. at Grant)

For a hair cut and color that supports a good cause (other than your own obviously important personal beautification), head to downtown San Francisco’s Elevation Salon + Cafe this Sunday for the Cuts and Colors for a Cause event benefitng the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

Between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., the salon will donate all proceeds from cut and color services to The Race, a non-profit effort supporting breast cancer research and programs. Adding a touch of Hollywood glam to the event is celebrity stylist John Francis, whose famous clients include Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Sting and Rebecca Romain.

Ready to hop in a chair? Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged. Make them by calling 415-392-2969. Prices range from $50 for a haircut with a junior stylist to $225 for a cut with a celebrity stylist and $80 to $210 for color services from single process to partial highlights.

The Do List: San Francisco Fashion Events June 6-12

Summer’s here, and we’re ready to unwind with local fashion goodness (even if we’re wearing scarves instead of swimsuits). So look to the SF Indie Fashion Calendar this week for events supporting a longtime supporter of the local fashion scene in her battle against cancer, serious deals from a local fitness apparel brand, a fashion show featuring local swimwear and much more.

  • Get in gear for the week ahead by doing good and having fun at the same time during Tuesday’s Kelly vs. the C Word Concert, a benefit at The Independent to help Indie Mart and Workshop founder Kelly Malone raise funds for cancer treatments and surgery. Two days later, another chance to support Malone beckons, when the City’s reigning D.I.Y. queen celebrates her first solo art show with an evening reception at Hotel Biron and a store opens around the corner featuring interiors designed by Malone (see details below).
  • A reason to scoot on up to Mill Valley arrives on Wednesday, when Bay Area-based fitness apparel brand Zohba holds a sample sale with tops and bottoms priced from $5 to $15.
  • Just around the corner from the art opening at Hotel Biron on Thursday night, local label Gangs of San Francisco throws a party launching its new Hayes Valley retail shop. With interiors designed and constructed by Kelly Malone using recycled wood and vintage materials, the store will house the brand’s limited edition graphic tees.
  • Friday night’s Merry Making at supperclub offers an opp to scope skin-baring apparel from Zoe Bikini, In Lush and Shirli while lounging over dinner on the venue’s white beds amid beats from DJs such as Martin Collins and Natalie Nuxx.
  • Close out the week at the intersection of fashion and art during Sunday’s Wire Wear show at Public Works. Presented by Elevation Salon and featuring music by The Black Ryder, the event showcases boldly-styled models donning artist Tuan Tran’s dresses made of recycled telephone wire.

You can find details on all of these events and more happening this week on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.
