Beyond the Salon: Scott J’s Commitment to Community

Breast cancer, a formidable foe, affects millions worldwide. In the United States alone, over 240,000 women are diagnosed annually, a staggering statistic that can be overwhelming. However, hope is not lost. Thanks to early detection and groundbreaking advancements in medical technology, breast cancer survival rates have soared to a remarkable 99%.

At Scott J, we believe in empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being. That’s why we’ve partnered with Aveda and the nonprofit organization HairToStay in the fight against breast cancer. HairToStay offers grants to help cancer patients afford cold capping, a treatment that can significantly reduce hair loss during chemotherapy.

Hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy, often causing emotional distress for patients. By cooling the scalp to below freezing, cold capping can help preserve hair, a vital aspect of self-esteem and identity for many individuals. It’s a simple yet effective intervention that can make a profound difference in a patient’s journey.

Your support can make a tangible difference in the lives of those battling breast cancer. By donating to HairToStay, you’re helping to subsidize cold capping treatments for patients in need. Every $1,000 raised can support one person’s journey through chemotherapy. Together, we can make a lasting impact and offer hope to those facing this challenging diagnosis.
