✨ WHAT WOULD DOLLY DO? ✨

This Friday, we’re celebrating the spirit of Dolly Parton the best way we know how — with a little kindness, a little beauty, and a whole lot of paying it forward. 💕✨

Anyone who comes in for a service on Friday, August 28th will receive a special ✨Pay It Forward Gift Certificate✨ to give to someone else who could use a little pampering.

Because Dolly has always reminded us that a little kindness can go a long way. 💗

Come treat yourself, then help us treat someone else.

✨What would Dolly do? She’d make the world a little brighter. ✨
