RAISING FUNDS TO CURE SCOLIOSIS

It's the Right Thing to Do

The beauty business is booming. We've grown accustomed to the multitude of services offered by spas and salons. Yet how often do we encounter a spa salon that gives back to the community and tries to make a difference? Enter SAAB.

I sat recently with Nina Saab, co-owner, along with her husband Frank, of SAAB Salon Spa. Instead of talking about their newest promotion or products, Nina chose to speak of a matter that's dear to her heart: scoliosis, a condition that leads to a pronounced and painful curvature of the spine.

SAAB is an Aveda Lifestyle Spa and Salon. To be affiliated with the socially-conscious and environmental-friendly Aveda, a spa must meet certain conditions and give back to the community. Nina saw this as a perfect opportunity to merge a cause she believes with the adopted brand motto.
