Pink Hair for Hope at Salon Meraki: Make Strides, Make a Statement

October 15 2025

This October, Salon Meraki is turning pink, and you can too. Join us in supporting the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign with our annual Pink Hair for Hope event. It’s a simple, beautiful way to show solidarity, raise awareness, and contribute to a powerful cause that touches so many lives.

Wear a Pink Strand. Show Your Support.

When you choose a pink strand at Salon Meraki, you’re doing more than adding a fun pop of color. You’re helping fund life-saving education, early detection, and patient support through the American Cancer Society. Every strand represents strength, hope, and the fight to end breast cancer once and for all.

Each strand is made from 100 percent human hair and attached using a professional, salon-grade keratin bond installed safely by our trained stylists. The result is a lightweight, seamless strand that blends beautifully into your natural hair while making a bold statement of compassion and courage.

Pick Your Pink Your Style, Your Statement

From soft blush tones to bold magenta hues, you can choose a shade and placement that fits your look and lifestyle. Whether you prefer a subtle peekaboo highlight or a vibrant accent, our stylists will customize your strand to complement your cut, color, and daily wear.

 • 100 percent human hair for a natural look and feel
 • Keratin bond for secure, damage-free attachment
 • Custom placement for visibility or subtlety
 • Quick install with a big impact

Share the Love

Once your pink strand is installed, snap a photo and tag @salonmerakinyc to help spread awareness. Every post helps amplify the message of hope and resilience.

Safe, Gentle Aftercare

Your pink strand is designed to look beautiful and feel comfortable for weeks with just a little care.

 • Brush gently, supporting near the bond to avoid tugging.
 • Avoid applying heavy oils or conditioners directly on the bond.
 • Keep heat tools and salt or chlorine exposure to a minimum.
 • Pat dry after swimming and always handle your strand with care.

When you’re ready to remove it, our stylists will take care of you. Please do not try to remove your strand at home. We use a professional keratin bond remover and a gentle technique to protect your natural hair.

Why It Matters

Every pink strand tells a story of courage, compassion, and community. Your participation directly supports research, patient programs, and awareness initiatives that help save lives. It’s a small act with a lasting impact.

Together, we can make strides, one pink strand at a time.
