LOOKS OF LOVE ESCONDIDO, CA – Look out for these colorful coiffures

Hues of red, green and blue will top the heads of some distinguished local citizens over the next couple of weeks as Stone Brewing Co. launches its fourth “Dye Your ‘Do” for charity campaign. About 50 people have already agreed to color their locks in exchange for pledges that will ultimately benefit Children’s Hospital, the Palomar Family YMCA, Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos and Looks Like Me. The three previous hair-dyeing drives have raised $60,000. There seems no shortage of participants. Stone CEO Greg Koch thinks as many as 100 people will dye their hair between this weekend and the fundraising finale Sept. 9 at the brewery’s 10th anniversary celebration and beer festival. “We’ve been pretty successful at this,” said Koch. “It’s a unique opportunity in most people’s lives to dye their hair a different color. Most are regular folks who would never dye their hair in their lifetime. This is a good chance to make a sacrifice for the good of the community and people are hopping all over it.”

ESCONDIDO, CA – A trip to a salon can be a lot of things: a mundane necessity, a time to relax, a gossip session, or a way to celebrate achievements or changes in life. But one salon, The Loft Hair Design in Escondido, seeks to take the experience further, turning it into a venue for social causes.
