Trixies Salon and Spa is proud to partner with the John Stoddard Cancer Center’s Empower Boutique and Salon in Des Moines.
Within the heart of this all-volunteer salon, our dedicated team of volunteers strives to do more than haircuts, head shavings and soothing scalp massages – we aim to make a profound impact.
In the journey of empowering cancer patients through the challenges of hair loss during treatment, our involvement goes beyond the scissors and styling chairs. We share stories, engage in deep conversations, and embrace each individual with a love and empathy that goes far beyond the surface. Our goal is simple – to offer an encouraging word, share a laugh, a cry or be the listening ear they need in that moment.
But here's where you come in. You have the power to support the Empower Boutique by purchasing items from our carefully curated wishlist. These are not just items; they are tangible expressions of care and compassion. Click the links provided to explore the most needed items, and drop them off at any Trixies Salon. We'll ensure they find their way to the Empower Boutique.
Join us on this journey, and together, let's create a meaningful impact for those in their cancer journey.
