Larry’s House

Holy cow! We love all the support that has come in to help our veteran Larry! We didn’t make our full goal on the eve of the deadline, but whatever happens tonight, DryLand is not going to let Larry lose his home.

We’ll cover whatever additional funds are needed to make sure Larry’s house is saved tomorrow, September 23rd. We’ve got this.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed, everyone who may still contribute, and especially to the puppy, Pappy, who certainly knows how to make you feel appreciated just for showing up!

Read more about this veteran, his puppy, and how we’ve been helping here and here.

All good fortune and blessings from the team at DryLand!

Update on our Veteran

Our Veteran Friend is doing much better! He has an appointment at the VA to have his eyes looked at, his backyard has been tended to, and his house has gotten a thorough cleaning! He’s feeling much better, and even a little hopeful about his home.

The contributions from neighbors and friends keep coming in, little by little, but we’re still off from our goal of $6,000 by September 23rd to save Larry’s house from foreclosure. You can read about it here: drylandsalon.com/save-veterans-house-cute-pup

Special thanks to:Happy Pappy

Elysia and Carl for taking care of the yard.

Liz for helping clean Larry’s kitchen.

John for the dog food (Pappy loves it!)

Balayage Hard-Core!!

We take our training very seriously at DryLand. That’s why we train hard!

When it comes to the latest techniques in color, styling, and cutting, we bring the sweat! Well, maybe we don’t exactly start perspiring, but there is some great artistic and technical exertion going on.

Most recently we got out the mannequins for a round of HARD CORE BALAYAGE!

Balayage Training

We learned some new skills and experimented with older styles of hair painting so that we could get truly subtle, but gloriously dimensional hair color.

We even had a real model:

Save a Veteran’s House! and his cute Pup!

This is Larry. He’s a veteran, honorably discharged with a bullet in his leg, and he’s about to lose his house unless we can raise $6,000 by September 23rd.

Larry with BEAST ICE!
He’s so Baltimore!

This is his dog, Pappy! So cute!

Pappy

Larry is our neighbor, and he lost what was left of his sight during an accident 7 months ago. We’re talking to the VA and other assistance organizations, but they won’t give us an extension on his house foreclosure to work through all the paperwork and get his military pension processed (since he never felt he deserved it, but now it’s important).

He has a reverse mortgage that has been putting food in Pappy’s bowl, but with Larry’s declining condition, he’s going to need more permanent help; in-home help, so that he can keep his super sweet dog! But first we must save his house!!!

Please spare whatever assistance you can to help us reach our goal. Updates will be posted here with progress and pictures of a happy Pappy!

If you cannot spare any money, please know that bringing meals, company and books-on-tape, are always appreciated. Also if you want to help clean his yard and house, it could use some more love.
Email kate@drylandsalon.com to help out!

Thank you,

Perfect Extensions

We’ve finally found the perfect hair extensions. Extensions

It’s been tough. As a salon that values the integrity of your locks, extensions can be hard on your hair. How can we grant all of your hair dreams if it hurts your locks?!

Problem solved:

They’re called MicroLinks by Dream Catchers, and they are divine, plus the hair that the extensions are made from looks glossy, and gorgeous, and are such high quality that you can use them over and over!

We’ve done a few trial runs in the salon on our own stylists, but we would like to try a few more hair types so that we can have a full gallery of extensions in the portfolio. We would ask that potential models pay for the cost of the hair; in exchange for professional installation of the extensions, you allow us to photograph the final look and add the pictures to our portfolio. Contact info@drylandsalon.com with pictures of your hair and what you want done (add length, add fullness, add funky color), and we’ll be in touch!
