Many businesses in the Cochrane community not only hope to see business soar in the month of December but some are giving back.

The staff of Stellar Studio Hair and Tattoo are looking for four deserving residents who would benefit from adding a little colour to their lives this holiday season.

Selma Bolat, owner and operator, says for three years her staff has offered a makeover to some well deserving nominated community members. "This is our way to give back and we just want to reach every corner of Cochrane so more people can get in their nominations."

The beauty team made up of Selma, Elyn, Robin, Megan, Hope, and Rebekah, look for anyone who could deserve a break; already receiving roughly 30 nominations the staff are touched by what they are reading. Confidential submissions get read and voted on by the staff who will be offering up a cut, colour, makeup and eyebrow shaping worth roughly $275 each.

Stylist Elyn Burgoyne, says it is great to give, "It's our way to give back to the community, this all we do...hair...so it is our donation."

Bolat recognizes that not everyone can afford to come in on a regular basis and feel pampered, and offering the gift of beauty makes the staff feel terrific."It builds so much confidence and puts a sparkle in their eye, it makes us feel good to see that."

If you know of someone that could use a lift this season you can privately message the Stellar team here before December 1, the makeovers are set to occur on December 16.
