Hairdressers Against AIDS

Comments (5)


In honor of World AIDS Day, the L'Oréal Fondation D'Enterprise in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria (GBC), has corralled 500 hairstylists (including celebrity hairstylists Johnny Wright and Ted Gibson) from all over the country-and across all of its professional hair brands: think Mizani, Redken, Matrix, Logics, Shu Uemera, etc. as a part of the launch of Hairdressers Against Aids U.S. campaign.

The group of hairdressers will converge in the heart of New York City wearing red ribbon-themed hats, scarves, and vests, will be armed with Flip Video™ camcorders stationed near video booths located throughout Manhattan for a singular mission: to engage more than 1 million people in conversations about HIV/AIDS

These videos will then be streamed to Times Square video billboards as well as the campaign's Facebook Page and its website. Hairdressers Against AIDS is a global advocacy program that aims to empower the entire industry of hairdressers and salon professionals to use their unique relationship with their clients and communities to become a resource to interact, educate and help prevent the spread of HIV. The campaign encourages all participants to "Use Your Voice, Use Your Power, For A Beautiful World Without AIDS."

How will you use your voice, and your power on World AIDS Day?
