Fallston, MD (July 25, 2013) – Need a haircut? Love animals? On Saturday, August 10th, Patrick Lomantini, master stylist and owner of a salon in Wichita, KS, will cut hair at Bel Air’s Persona Salon & Spa to bring attention to and raise funds for the many wonderful animals at the Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC). On this, his third annual tour, Lomantini will travel to all 50 states in 50 days to complete at least 50 haircuts per day – all for his love and passion for saving the nation’s homeless animals.
It’s expected to take 12 hours for Lomantini to complete 50 basic haircuts with appointments beginning at 9AM and the last cut at 9PM. Make an appointment now by calling Persona at 410-569-0101. During his day-long cutting extravaganza, a minimum $20 donation will be collected per haircut. Lomantini will donate 100% of all proceeds to support the programs and services at HSHC.
Dogs, cats and kittens who are looking for permanent homes will be visiting Persona from 10am until 2pm to cheer on Lomantini and support the team at Persona located at 5 Bel Air S. Parkway in the Festival Shopping Center. Enjoy refreshments, great raffles and free goodie bags to the first 50 families who get a haircut.
In his first two years on the 50 States Tour, Lomantini has raised nearly $100,000 for local shelters and organizations that support animals. In 2012 Lomantini performed over 3,500 haircuts in 50 days. This year, Lomantini is travelling with two other stylists, so his goal is to triple that amount.
