Who read about the Manistee Mom who single handedly pulled 4 girls (9 - 15yos) from Lake Michigan? 🌊✋🏼

✨Alyssa DeWitt✨ - a mom of 3 who lives a couple hours north without hesitation successfully assisted all 4 kids from a Lake Michigan Pier at First Street Beach.

Oh, and did we mention she was 5 months pregnant🤰🏼?

An incredible story - and to think she thought about not going to the beach 🏖 that windy 🌬 day - Read all about it and this super mom in the 🔗 above.

This week is CJ @lockworxsalon_cj - one of the fabulous stylists of @lockworxsalon 💇‍♀️💇🏻‍♀️💇🏼‍♀️💇🏽‍♀️💇🏾‍♀️

I graduated from the @douglasjaveda Institute in ‘08, and I work full time as an Advanced Stylist at Lockworx Salon. Our salon specializes in long customized color/cuts, short edgy pixies and everything in between”

CJ shares, “When I’m not doing hair, I help with management, social media and marketing, up-do/styling education and am our salon’s @aveda Ambassador.”

✨For the first 10 people to call, CJ has been kind enough to offer a FREE Haircut + Strengthening Botanical Treatment ($100 value) when you book a Customized Color✨

“Call the salon today to set up a complimentary consultation, let’s talk about your hair dreams!” (517)321-2663

Thanks CJ💚
