“Cut It Out” –

Los Angeles Area Businesses to

Donate Free Makeovers to Domestic Violence Sufferers

Beverly Hills CA-In honor of October being named National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), the country’s best beauty experts and physicians have partnered up with Los Angeles based non-profit organization, Safe Passage, to provide complete makeovers to five local domestic abuse survivors.  These businesses will join a national campaign designed to “cut out” domestic violence by offering victims a “new look” on life. 

DVAM is a time for collective action, to celebrate survivors of the Movement, raise public awareness, and remember the millions of lives lost, as a result of abuse.  For many years, Safe Passage has sought to make a difference in the lives of Angelenos by providing amazing life transformations. 

With these makeovers, Safe Passage is hoping to help heal the emotional and physical wounds these five women have endured.  One woman is constantly reminded of the day her ex shot her by the appearance of a large scar where the bullet entered her shoulder.  Another woman has burn scars that cover over fifty percent of her body. And still a third has significant facial scarring.  These physical injuries are ever-present symbols of the past, which until recently, they relived every time they looked in the mirror.

For the last few weeks the women have undergone their own personal extreme makeovers, on the way to beginning their new lives.  On October 2, 2009 between the hours of 12 and 2 PM, these women will finish the last phase of their new transformations at the Giuseppe Franco Salon in Beverly Hills. 

To help with these dramatic makeovers, Safe Passage assembled a Dream Team of volunteers.  Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Fardad Forouzanpour, founder of Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgical Group, and Dr. Bruce Vafa of Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, donated multiple cosmetic, reconstructive and dental surgeries. Actress and exercise coach, Natalie Raitano will be providing ongoing fitness training and maintenance, and actress and author, Lydia Cornell, will give life-coaching advice.  Giuseppe Franco will provide haircuts and color on the day of the event, and makeup artist Ruby Polanco of NYX Cosmetics will be doing participants’ makeup.  Finally, fashions donated by “2 Chicks” will style their new looks. The Miss California Latina and Miss Teen will be inspiring the ladies to walk the walk and talk the talk! 

Following these makeovers, the women will be feted and reintroduced to the world at a luncheon given in their honor at Beverly Hills restaurant, Mulberry Pizza Street. According to Keiara, “This is a dream come true and for the first time I know that I am loved. God has sent me Angels from Safe Passage to restore me!”

The experts are equally enthusiastic about the opportunity.  “I am honored to work with Safe Passage, and the other volunteers in participating in this life-changing event.  These beautiful women have taught us more than we can ever teach them. I cannot wait to see their big reveals,” says Dr. Fardad.

Interested community members can do their part to stop domestic violence by contributing tax deductible donations like:  gift certificates, beauty aids, laptop computers and money to Safe Passage or domestic abuse prevention charities like it.
