Jay
Michael Salon and Spa (at The Phoenix, 1600 Arch Street) is helping men lose
the fur before beach season as they present Manscape Mania and the search for
“Furriest Philadelphian.” On Sunday, May 19, 2013, from 10:00am to 4:00pm, all
Jay Michael stylists and employees will volunteer their time and donate 100% of
proceeds from men’s salon packages to City of Hope to help them in the fight
against prostate cancer. All participants and their guests will enjoy specially
priced salon packages, beer tastings, complimentary nibbles, free gifts and a
chance to win a $1,000 prize getaway package. In advance of the event, one
winner will be named “Furriest Philadelphian,” entitling them to a year of free
services and products. An additional winner at the event will be named “Most
Dramatic Makeover.” For information, click here or call
267-514-8000.

services at a discounted price (one-day only). All pricing is available for one-day only,
with appointments available on a first-come, first-served basis. Special
pricing can’t be combined with other discounts. One hundred percent of proceeds
will go to City of Hope as staff are generously donating their wages from the
day to pay it forward or “Live a
Beautiful Life” (the company’s tagline/mission statement.)
During the event, participants will also
enjoy complimentary nibbles and beer samples from Tirnanog,
as well as a free Matrix boxed gift set (valued at $40) and a free ride gift

Manscape Mania, plus a year of free styling products (approximate value $400)
and a year of complementary haircuts (approximate value $2,000). Interested

winner. Entries must include name, age and email address. Must be 21 and older
to participate. Certain restrictions apply.
“It’s
a humorous way to show our salon’s not-so-serious side,” explained Manager,
Sylwia Cunningham. “We are a five-star salon and spa but we also like to have
fun and also help those in need. City of Hope is a very worthy charity and
we’re happy to help find—and make over— this furry man! I guess you could say
we’re letting our hair down for a day!”
At
the event, one lucky winner will also be named “Most Dramatic Makeover.” Before
and after shots will be judged at the end of the day by Josh Hafetz, President
of Raylon Corporation, a wholesale beauty distributor.
“We
love working with Jay Michael Salon and Spa, “ said Harry Giordano, Senior
Director of Development for City of Hope’s Northeast Region. “They have been
long-time supporters of our cause I am looking forward to seeing the before and
after of the Furriest Philadelphian – it’s a fun event for everyone and a day
that going to be really great!”
