JUST DO IT: Go pink for boobies

Pinks have more fun

It seems like getting your hair did for charity is the "it" thing to do this fall. First, we reported that Salon Vanity gave free haircuts for Locks of Love, and today we've caught word that Floyd's 99 (2610 Moreland Rd., 215-706-0170) in Willow Grove is dying pink streaks in people's hair in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the entire month of October, the self-described "rock 'n roll barber shop" will donate 50 percent of pink streaking costs to the local cancer fund. Co-owner Debbie Jackson says she came up with the idea to offer a unique twist on the pink ribbon that famously signifies breast cancer awareness. "I feel like we're doing something a little more original ... to help people show their support," she says. "It's a great fit because both breasts and hair are very rock 'n roll." She says the streaks, which cost $8 each, take about 20 minutes to apply and will last up to three weeks. This is a great opportunity to give something like this a try if you've always been curious. Hey, it worked for Pink.
