Rainbeau has been my stylist and dear friend since 1998. Over the years, she has become so much more than someone who does my hair—she is a deeply soulful, loving, healing, and nurturing presence. A day with Rainbeau is more than just a day at the salon; it’s an experience of care and connection that lifts the spirit. She has touched the lives of so many in our community, always offering kindness and support to those who need it most.

On January 18, 2026, Rainbeau suffered a serious tibial fracture that required surgery and left her hospitalized for three months. Thanks to the outpouring of love and support from friends and clients, she was able to keep her salon and apartment during her recovery. However, returning to work has been a slow process. For the first two months after leaving the hospital, Rainbeau could only see one client a day, a few days a week, making it impossible to cover her living and business expenses. Now, she is facing the real risk of losing her beloved salon—the place where she has created so much joy and healing for others.

I am reaching out one last time to ask for your help. Your support will make it possible for Rainbeau to keep her hair studio open and continue doing the work she loves. Please help me support our dear friend and beloved stylist Rainbeau during this challenging time. Your generosity means the world to both of us.
