Salon owner Rebecca Tambascia understands the potency of chemicals that so many people use without a second thought every day. That is why she uses natural products whenever possible ? and that?s also why she has united her salon to raise funds for breast cancer prevention.
She and the employees and clients at her salon, Essential Beauty at Atlantis in Hyannis, will be raising funds for the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition?s Against the Tide annual fundraising event for breast cancer prevention. Against the Tide consists of swim, kayak, walk, and run, as well as a new Aquathlon this year.
The salon will be raising funds through a special event Aug. 10 that includes a Mojo natural malt beverage tasting, appetizers from local restaurant 586 Bistro, fingernail polish changes from the new Zoya nail polish line, hair touch-ups and makeup services from Aveda artists, and organic and eco-friendly clothing and accessories for sale from Shift Boutique.
??The reason why I?m supporting MBCC is because its funds go toward prevention, which I think is really key,? said Tambascia. ?Between one in seven and one in eight women in their lifetime will be diagnosed with breast cancer! I think that?s just scary when you really stop and think about it.? Why is that number so high??
Tambascia said she is very cautious of what she brings into her home and what she feeds herself and her two children.? Being in the hairdressing industry makes it difficult to remain chemical-free, but Essential Beauty does what it can, she says.? ?Our product line is from Aveda Concepts, and they?re as close to natural as you can get.? This includes their hair coloring products, which are 98 percent naturally derived,? said Tambascia.
?We are very fortunate to have such tremendous support from Rebecca and her team at Essential Beauty, demanding greater protection of their children?s future health in our effort to stop breast cancer before it starts,? says MBCC Director of Events and Communication Cheryl Osimo. ?Rebecca has worked hard with her team of stylists and Aveda specialists to support the Cape Cod Against the Tide since its inception over a decade ago. It has always been an outstanding fundraising event, and this year will be no different.?
Tambascia invites people to join her Against the Tide team, which is participating in the walk component of Against the Tide. You may do so by registering for the event at www.mbcc.org/swim and selecting to join Team Essential Beauty, or make a donation to Team Essential Beauty through team captain Becca Tambascia at www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/teamessentialbeauty/.
