Carson City salon gives haircuts for a cause
A glass jar inside A New U Salon and Spa was being filled with donations Saturday from the community to help raise funds for Stefanie Schmidt, one of six Carson High School students involved in an automobile accident back on Nov. 9.
The salon, located at 116 East Seventh Street, decided to donate proceeds from haircuts between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday to Schmidt's family and help them with incurred medical bills.
Schmidt is currently at a Colorado rehabilitation center.
"One hundred percent of proceeds will go directly to (the family)," the salon said.
The Fox Brewpub, on Bob McFadden Plaza at Third and North Carson streets, is donating 10 percent of each bill when customers mention the Schmidt family.
