Every year, Hyatt's Hair Studio partners with WeHope to offer free hair services to homeless clients participating in the WeHope program. We either close the salon on a designated day or set up a booth at their community connect event. This initiative has brought immense joy to the Hyatt's team, allowing us to give back to those in need. It’s remarkable to see how something as simple as a haircut or style can boost an individual's confidence during such challenging times. Through this effort, Hyatt's has also developed lasting relationships with some individuals, who have become regular clients at the studio.
A Letter from WeHOPE CEO
Hi Sherry,
On October 24, Hyatt Hair Studio attended WeHOPE's Community Connect event in East Palo Alto. This annual event was attended by over 100 people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Hyatt Hair Studio gave haircuts, braids, and styled hair for approximately 20 people. The participants were so thrilled with the exceptional service they received from Hyatt Hair and stated that they felt amazing. They were overwhelmed by the quality of Hyatt Hair Studios work and touched that they had the opportunity to get pampered by such a quality hair studio. The guests walked away feeling 10 feet tall. Many stated that this was one of the best days they have had in years.
Thank you Hyatt Hair Studio for your spirit of excellence and how you give back to the community. Your services are amazing. You reach people during the most difficult times in their lives and help them feel like kings and queens for a day.

Where do ‘Steel Magnolias’ actors go to get into character?
A Black-owned hair salon in San Carlos
In the salon-set “Steel Magnolias,” the most dramatic style moment comes when Shelby chops off her long tresses. As with all hair decisions, it’s not just about the hair; it’s a psychic break with a past self, the one her mother had nurtured into the favorite daughter of their small Louisiana town.
But if you’re picturing Julia Roberts and Sally Field from the lily-white 1989 film version, such a vision did not interest Elizabeth Carter, who directs TheatreWorks’ multiracial production of the play, which begins performances Wednesday, June 7, at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts. Carter was more interested in asking, “What does it mean for a Black mom who is also a professional to feel the pressure?
