Hey there, beauty enthusiasts and community heroes!

At Ƶ, we're all about more than just killer haircuts, flawless skin routines, and that perfect blowout.

We're passionate about nurturing talent, building confidence, and making a real difference in our local community. That's why we're thrilled to announce our annual Personal Care Product Drive—a feel-good initiative that's as rewarding for your heart as it is for your hair.

Why We're Teaming Up with St. Vincent de Paul Society

This holiday season, we're shining a spotlight on those who need it most. The St. Vincent de Paul Society has been a cornerstone of support in Northeast Ohio for years, providing essential resources to families facing tough times. From food pantries to emergency aid, their work touches countless lives right here in Youngstown, Warren, and beyond. But personal care items? Those everyday essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash often get overlooked—and that's where you come in.

By participating in our drive, you're not just donating products; you're helping ensure dignity and comfort for our neighbors in need.

And the best part? You'll walk away with a fresh, fabulous haircut on us. It's a win-win that aligns perfectly with Aveda's mission of holistic wellness and community care.

How to Get Involved: It's as Easy as 1-2-3

Running from November 1st to December 19th, this drive is designed to fit seamlessly into your routine. Here's the scoop:

  1. Gather Your Goods: Round up three unopened personal care items. We're talking travel-sized or full bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, soap, toothpaste—you name it! (Pro tip: Aveda products are always a luxurious touch if you've got 'em, but any clean, quality brands are welcome.)

  2. Drop Them Off: Swing by our campus at 5555 Youngstown Warren Rd, Unit 606, Niles, OH 44446. Our student stylists and staff will be ready with open arms (and donation bins) during our regular hours: Tuesday–Thursday 9 AM–9 PM, Friday 9 AM–5 PM, and Saturday 9 AM–3 PM. (We're closed Mondays and Sundays, so plan accordingly!)

  3. Claim Your Complimentary Cut: Present your three items at the front desk, and boom—schedule a free haircutwith one of our talented cosmetology students under the supervision of our expert educators. It's hands-on learning at its best, and you'll get salon-quality results at zero cost.

This isn't just a donation; it's an experience that supports aspiring beauty pros while giving back. Imagine starting the new year with a sleek new 'do and the warm fuzzies from making someone's day a little brighter.A Little About Us (If You're New Around Here)

For those unfamiliar, Ƶ has been empowering the next generation of beauty artists since 2004. Nestled in the heart of Niles, we're part of the renowned Aveda family, blending plant-based products with cutting-edge techniques. Our 1,500-hour cosmetology program covers everything from precision cuts to color mastery, and our salon services are open to the public—affordable, eco-friendly, and oh-so-effective. Whether you're here for a quick trim or exploring a career in beauty, we're your go-to spot in Northeast Ohio.

Ready to Make It Happen?

The clock's ticking—don't miss out on this limited-time offer! For more details, give us a ring at (330) 792-6504 or pop over to our website to book your slot. Follow us on social for behind-the-scenes peeks at the drive and student spotlights.

At Casal Aveda, we believe beauty starts from within—and extends to the world around us. Let's style some good this season.

As the air cools and the leaves begin to change, autumn invites us to embrace transformation — not only in nature but within ourselves.

At Ƶ, the fall season is the perfect time to refresh your look with a new haircut, color, or style that reflects the richness and warmth of the season.

🍁 Fall Haircuts: Fresh Starts for a New Season

From layered bobs to textured lobs, fall trends focus on movement, softness, and shape. Whether you’re ready for a bold change or a subtle trim, our talented students can help you find a cut that complements your features and fits your lifestyle — all while providing the expert attention you deserve.

🍂 Autumn Hair Color: Warm, Rich, and Dimensional

This season’s hair color trends are inspired by fall’s natural palette — think golden caramels, copper reds, and deep espresso brunettes. Our students specialize in creating beautiful, multi-dimensional tones using Aveda’s naturally derived, plant-infused color line, giving you a look that’s as vibrant as autumn itself.

💆‍♀️ Styling & Treatments: Rejuvenate and Protect

The cooler months can bring dryness and dullness to your hair. Treat yourself to a glossing treatment, deep-conditioning service, or Aveda Botanical Therapy to restore shine and hydration. You’ll walk out feeling renewed and ready to take on the season in style.

At Ƶ, every service — from precision cuts and custom colors to relaxing spa treatments — is performed by our students under the careful supervision of licensed instructors. You’ll enjoy professional-quality results at an affordable price while supporting the next generation of beauty professionals.

🍃 Fall is the season of change. Let your transformation begin at Ƶ.
