Smile Style is a community of skilled cosmetologists, community activists, mentors, educators, and mental health providers commited to confronting some of the issues negatively impacting homeless youth.

 

We encourage homeless youth to aim for excellence in school and in their lives. We recognize and reward hard working and dedicated youth by providing FREE cosmetology services and access to an array of community and personal development resources. to assist them on their journey of self-empowerment. Because we value community solidarity and teamwork, we closely collaborate with local community organizations that offer mentoring, leadership training, mental health services, and  positive body image/personal development workshops.

 

We are committed to being a part of the solution, By using our incentive program to encourage our displaced youth to “Hang their hats higher than they can reach” despite the often challenging circumstances they endure.
