“I was blessed to be able to do hair,” said Greenberg, who is without water at her home. “The tornado was so devastating for people, I want to give back.”
Greenberg said she and her staff were at the salon until 9 p.m. Tuesday night keeping the shampoo bowls filled and a steam shower ready while her husband handed out water in the parking lot.
The salon, at 37 Hillside Court in Englewood, is open daily from 9:30 a.m.- 7 p.m. Greenberg recommends calling (937) 479-6994 to confirm hours and availability.
“I want people to forget about their troubles, relax and leave their stress behind for a few minutes,” Greenberg said. “There’s nothing better than a shower and a shampoo to make you feel whole again.”
