More Information

• Liz and David Pruess, co-owners of Chicago Hair, asked for nominations of women who were in need of a little pampering. Of the four women, two were breast cancer survivors associated with the Rocky Mountain Team Survivor, and the other two endured marital hardships for a number of years. The women received free hair and make-up makeovers from the staff of Chicago Hair. J.J. Wells, a local Boulder women's clothing store, worked with the models to find the right outfit for the day of the shoot. Liz Pruess said "our hope was to give back to our community by providing services to women that have been through a lot and might need, but don't take the time for a treat like having your hair and make-up done". Deb of Rocky Mountain Team Survivor, who was one of the models recalled: "Almost five years ago, shortly after my 39th birthday, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had just been told my mother had Parkinson's and I had an 18 month old daughter. I was overwhelmed. Throughout the process, I maintained "control" of my hair. When it began to fall out- I got a mohawk. When it began to come back, I got amazing short hair styles. My journey back to "normal" occurred when I met Dora [another Chicago Hair model] of the Rocky Mountain Team Survivor." The day of the event, the women modeled their new looks. “It was exciting to witness a woman realize how beautiful and special she is.”
