Sarasota Polo: Cutting Loose Salon is excited to be a 2010 sponsor of the Sarasota Polo Club in Lakewood Ranch. Polo games are an event every Sunday afternoon from December through May. You are invited to bring your picnic baskets and enjoy the thrill of the "fastest game on four feet". With pony and Clydesdale wagon rides, exciting action, tailgating, half-time entertainment, divot stomping and plenty of fresh air, Sunday polo is the perfect place for a family outing; dogs are even welcome on a leash. After each game, join us at the MGA pavilion where Cutting Loose will present the award for "The Most Well-Coiffed Pony"! For schedule and more info see Sarasotapolo.com

For the past 15 years, Coral has supported a local organization called SPARCC (Safe Place and Rape crisis Center). The salon donates gift certificates to the shelter that can be used by women for a day of pampering and fashion consulting. Their day at Cutting Loose ® Salon helps them build a professional image so they can find new jobs and make a fresh start. We also provide hair and make-up for SPARCC's annual Fashion Show held at the Ritz Carlton that raises money to support the organization.

Girls at Cardinal Mooney High School make one of the biggest personal sacrifices each year as these young women donate their lovely locks of hair to Locks of Love. Cutting Loose ® Salon provides an annual event each year where the girls donate over 10 inches of their hair to provide hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children with long-term cancer. We incorporate a professional photo shoot with before and after shots for publication in national hairstyling magazines.

The Lisa Kreider Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor the memory of one of our fellow team members who lost her life in March 2007. The fund provides scholarships to female students with financial needs who want to attend beauty school.
