Pretty In Pink Campaign Offers $31 Spa Services

Posted on October 9th, 2009 by Rebecca Taras

It’s pretty easy to tear through $31 these days, whether it’s that trip to the grocery store to pick up “a few things,” or a detour to Walgreen’s on the way home from the office. While you can’t always justify these extraneous costs, you can feel good spending that same $31 on one of several spa or salon treatments offered at one of the several businesses participating in the 5th annual “Pretty in Pink” event, presented by PrettyCity.com.

$31 for 31 days of beauty - the entire month of October.  We’re talking no chip manis, pedis, haircuts, facials, waxes, personal training sessions and more. Where does the pink come in? Each participating salon and spa pays a fee to participate, which is completely donated to bright pink, a national non-profit providing education and support to young women at risk for ovarian or breast cancer.

Sign up at Pretty City to see the full list of participating locations, but keep watching our blog to see our pick (or picks) of the week!

Four Brookfield Spas, Beauty Service Providers Offering Discounted Services Throughout October in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Effort features 31 Days of $31 beauty and wellness

Four Brookfield businesses are raising funds and discounting popular beauty services during the month of October as part of a nationwide initiative called Pretty in Pink. They are among 16 facilities in Southeastern Wisconsin that are participating in the effort, and include: ANEW Skin & Wellness (19265 W. Capitol Drive); Metamorphosis Salon & Day Spa (15655 W. North Avenue) and VICI Capilli Salon (Brookfield Square – 95 N. Moorland Road).

The Pretty in Pink campaign, which is held annually in October to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, benefits Bright Pink in 2009. Bright Pink is the only national non-profit organization with an exclusive focus on the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in high risk, young women.

Each one of the more than 100 spas and salons that participate in Pretty in Pink nationwide makes a contribution of $199 to Bright Pink, and provides their services at deeply discounted fees to raise awareness for the charity. During Pretty in Pink, created and implemented by PrettyCity.com, consumers may select from offers of contemporary beauty services for just $31 that include posh pedicures, 60-minute massages, European facials, haircuts and color, eyelash tinting, Brazilian bikini waxing as well as skin-saving microdermabrasion and photo facials.

Consumers may log on to www.prettycity.com/pink to browse participating locations and their $31 services, as well as to make additional donations to support Bright Pink.

Since 2007, the Pretty in Pink campaign has raised $20,000 every year for its charity partners. It began in 2005 with 31 participants that raised $600.

Pretty in Pink expanded into the Milwaukee market in 2007 with two participants, grew to five last year and more than doubled that number this year.

“Milwaukee is a thriving area, far too often overlooked in national campaigns, and we wanted to spotlight this pretty city by expanding the program in Greater Milwaukee,” said PrettyCity.com founder, Carolyn Brundage. “We’re thrilled with the new partners that have joined this project to support Bright Pink fundraising as well as help build buzz for BCA Month by generously and deeply discounting their services.”

Pretty in Pink: $31 Spa Deals for Breast Cancer Awareness

Maya Henderson

With all this talk about thongs, boyshorts and going commando, I'm beginning to think it's time to go to the spa for a little body hair maintenance. Thankfully, from now until the end of the month, we can pamper ourselves for a cause. Spa and beauty website PrettyCity.com is partnering with local spas and salons for Pretty in Pink, 31 days of $31 spa services for breast cancer awareness.

This year, proceeds benefit Be Bright Pink, an organization that aims to educate young women who are at high risk for breast or ovarian cancer. The promotion runs until the end of the month, with select spas and salons throughout the city and suburbs offering $31 deals on everything from waxing, facials, acupuncture, highlights, hair cuts, hot stone massage, teeth cleaning, nutrition consultation and med spa treatments like spider vein removal.

I love to spa (in fact, I've freelanced for PrettyCity in the past) and I've already received a pedi, am looking forward to a facial next weekend and will likely squeeze in a lymphatic drainage massage before the end of the month.

I truly believe that making time to pamper yourself is an important part of a balanced lifestyle, especially for those of us who are active and always on the go. If you've never experienced a professional massage or pedicure, you deserve it and it might just change your life. Besides, at these prices and for such a great cause, we can all afford a little TLC.

Participating spas and salons pay a fee to participate in the Pretty in Pink campaign, and 100 percent of the money collected is donated to Bright Pink. Last year's campaign raised $20,000.

Chicago salons and spas charge $31 services to honor the 31 days of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Savvy and cause conscious? : The fourth annual Pretty in Pink event is already well under way, so you should rush to make that hair appointment and maybe squeeze in a little facial while you can. Organized by Pretty City, an online company that reviews and discounts spas and salons, several spas and salons across the country will be offering their top-end services for the discounted price of $31 to raise breast cancer awareness and funds to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength during the 31 days of October.

With over 50 participating spas and salons in the city and suburbs, Chicago was also the first city to do Pretty in Pink before the event and the company went national.

“It has become way more popular, but the campaign is best known locally. Although we’re working hard to expand it in additional states,” says Carolyn Brundage, CEO of Pretty City. “When we started in 2005 we were aiming to have 31 participating spas and salons.  Now it’s a lot more work. The donation we made last year was 10 percent of our total annual profits, almost $22,000. As a small business, it’s the biggest charity donation we do and something that we feel good about.”

Brundage started the event after discovering the dollar amount that goes directly to breast cancer charities from pink products wasn’t much when researching for a beauty column.

“I was disheartened,” Brundage says. “I wanted to do something that was completely transparent so customers and participants would know that we donate 100 percent of what we make from the event.”

From services that usually run from $65 to $350 like Brazilian waxes, facials, peels, a range of hair treatments and even laser hair removal, the event raises awareness and funds and participating spa and salons are seeing an increasing flow of new potential clientele.

“It exposes us in a good way,” says Jennifer Channer, owner of Blueberry Moon, a salon and spa in Lincoln Park, Chicago. “It’s a good opportunity to work with a good cause and it also helps bring in new customers that would like to try out the salon and hopefully, make that transition to come into the salon full time.”

Not even midway into the event, Blueberry Moon has already completely booked every appointment for its cinnamon roll pedicure for the month, and their bikini wax, Swedish massage and hair appointments are going fast too.

“I would call as soon as possible just because it is remarkable how fast the services get reserved in advance,” Channer says, who has participated in Pretty in Pink before with other salons.

Noel Buican, owner of Aqua Salon located in Edgebrook, Chicago, agrees whole-heartedly.

“We actually had people calling us before the event launched to see if we were participating,” says Buican, who is a first time participant. “People were really anticipating this event.”

Aqua Salon is out of Saturday and evening appointments, but a few morning and mid-afternoons are still up for the taking.

Despite the event’s little advertising, Pretty in Pink is pushing a lot of people to spas and salons for high-end services at a discounted rate and, most importantly, for a good cause.

“It’s really spread via word of the mouth,” Brundage says. “Every year it seems like it gets passed virally from women telling other women who tell more women. It’s more rewarding to know that people are spreading the word—that’s what is moving this event.”

Go get your nails done
Lately the beauty business has been catching quite a bit of flak from critics who say that racism, ageism, and -- gasp! -- false eyelashes in mascara commercials have all put blemishes on the industry’s reputation. But the girls at Pretty City are doing their part to put the b back in beauty. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they’re offering hard-working guys and gals across the nation major discounts on spa services during the Pretty in Pink spa month. Every day until October 31, you can get organic facials, customized massages, hairstyling, and nail care services for $31 each. And when you walk out of the Olazabal Hair and Skin Salon (520 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables; 305-445-9691) feeling like a million bucks, you’ll feel twice as good knowing you’re helping to raise funds and awareness for the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. Visit www.prettycity.com/pink for a complete list of participating spas and salons. Don’t forget to mention you’d like a “Pretty in Pink” treatment when you book appointments.

Bella Bargain: $31 Spa Treatments Throughout October

It's called Pretty in Pink, and it gives you the chance to save up to 90% on spa and salon services.

Pretty in Pink is a promotion that goes throughout October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month. All month long, spas and salons across the country will offer $31 treatments to raise awareness and money for the Y-Me National Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation. So you can get laser hair removal, mesotherapy, IPL, microdermabrasion, haircuts, pedicures and more for just $31 each. It's a steal, and as Sherbear 5 says, it's for a good cause.

The catch? At these prices, appointments will fill up faster than you can say "monthly breast self-check." To see what's available near you, check out this complete list. And you thought Pretty In Pink was only a John Hughes movie.
