With customers ranging from those with medical hair loss, alopecia or even those who desire better hair, many hair wearers typically strive for anonymity, so to celebrate 50 years of business, Charles of Laguna is hosting their anniversary celebration with the public on Sunday Sept. 27 from 2 to 6 p.m.
To celebrate, Charles of Laguna will be hosting a book signing for Patty Farmer’s new book, "Playboy Swings: How Hugh Hefner and Playboy Changed the Face of Music." Mingle to the sounds of live tenor saxophonist Ira Raibon, formerly of Earth Wind & Fire.
Also, receive a mini Tarot card reading from Ashley, a renowned astrologer and SunGoddess In one of the atelier’s private rooms. You will also be to see live hair demonstrations that will show you how Charles of Laguna specializes in their craft.
Charles of Laguna will be donating 10 percent of the event proceeds along with Farmer’s book sales to Kristine Taylor Philanthropies.
