Peter Coppola and Peter CoppolaKeratin Concept are officially sponsoring the Survivor Glam Squad Organization, a non-profit that provides makeovers for cancer survivors.

The organization selects women who are cancer survivors from around the world, to receive a makeover, which includes hair/wig styling, fashion tips, make up application, photo sessions, education and motivation. These inspiring makeover events also provide a comfortable occasion for family and friends to support and celebrate their loved one’s road to recovery.

Peter Coppola Keratin Concept understands the need for women to regain that sense of normalcy in their lives and how to care for their hair after cancer. The Peter Coppola Keratin Treatment is formaldehyde and aldehyde free, and improves the condition and texture of the hair after chemotherapy.

On October 26 & 27 2013, Peter Coppola Keratin Concept hosted the launch of a new youth program with SGS in New York for female cancer survivors between the ages of 18 to 30. This event provided makeovers for three young cancer survivors.

Suleika Jaouad, a twenty-five year old Leukemia survivor and author of the New York Times “Well” section, Life, Interrupted, was among the women selected. According to Suleika, “Hair and makeup may seem like a trivial thing, especially in the face of cancer but looking good makes you feel so much better. I loved meeting Peter Coppola and hearing his empowerment speech along with his products and styling tips.”

In continued support of the partnership, Peter Coppola Keratin Concept will fund and host additional Survivor Glam Squad events each month, through salons that carry the Peter Coppola Keratin Concept brand.

To provide on-going support from coast-to-coast for all ages, the brand’s distributors and salons will be offered the opportunity to also host their own makeover events at their locations around the country.
