CARBONDALE, Ill. -- A local hair stylist is bringing her skills to the community for a second year.聽
Kierra Greer has announced she will host a second Back-to-School Braidathon. Greer along with community volunteers will work to give free hair makeovers to children before the start of the new school year.聽
According to Greer, the 2023 event saw 48 girls get their hair braided. This year, Greer says she needs volunteers to step up for the good of the children.聽
"With my salon building being sold, I am even more at a shortage than last year," Greer told News 3. "I need the community to come together so that we can have a great turnout and keep any little girl from getting turned around."
The Braidathon is set for Monday, August 12 at Carbondale United at 309 E. Jackson from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.聽
