December is the month that the staff at Elle Salon makes a special donation to promote awareness of, and give financial support to, 3 special local charities.  The staff will give each client a ticket ($1 equivalent) to deposit in one of the 3 charity boxes on our "Support Our Charities Table".  At the end of December we will tabulate the number of tickets, and Elle Salon will donate the total amount collected for each charity.  We have been doing this for a few years now and believe it is a thoughtful way of giving a gift to those in need in honor of you, our loyal clients!   

This year the staff chose to support:

	Speranza Animal Rescue Founder Janine Guido, a native of Monroe Township, founded Speranza Animal Rescue with the mission of saving the dogs that no one else will; the abused, neglected, and ones in need of a tremendous amount of veterinary care. They are committed to saving as many animals as possible and helping them find their forever home! Speranza means "hope" in Italian.
	The Community Checkup Center of South Harrisburg The Community Check-Up Center is a community based non-profit organization that works in partnership with the community to improve the health and wellness of low-income women and children through high quality, compassionate care.
	South Central PA Dress for Success Dress for Success works to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing them with professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life.

Last week the staff took part in a manicure class given by educator Cora King from Art of Beauty. Cora demonstrated for the nail technicians the steps of using NAKED MANICURE, as well as, how to add other Zoya colors into the steps. 

A few months ago we introduced NAKED MANICURE to our nail product line.  Clients using the product are seeing great results and are now enjoying healthy and gorgeous nails. Dawn Ciervo NAKED MANICURE can be used at home or at the salon as part of your regular manicure routine.
