BEST BUYS -- greer wylder

If you’re in need of a haircut, you can book an appointment between Nov.

30 and Dec. 2 at the new Christophe Salon and help out local charities.

During the three-day event, called “Days of Beauty,” 100% of the proceeds

from haircuts, colors or salon treatments will go to Childhelp USA,

Orange County Museum of Art and Orangewood Foundation/PALS. Also, the

famed stylist of the stars, Christophe Schatteman, will be in for

appointments. When making an appointment, you can request Christophe for

a $300 haircut, or go to one of the other eight stylists who charge $75.

The fund-raiser is part of the celebration of Christophe Salon’s fourth

location opening in Fashion Island, between the Chimayo Grill and

Express. For more information, please call (714) 429-1552.
