My friend Dawn is amazing. She inspires me to no end. There are people who do a few things for the environment and charitable causes and then there are people like Dawn who do everything for the environment and charitable causes. She is the queen of all things eco and charitable.
She owns the Ubuntu Hair Studio in Solana Beach. Ubuntu is an Ethiopian word which means "I AM Because We ARE." Ubuntu is unique. It has been saving hair for oil spills long before the Gulf spill, it sells and support charities like 31 bits which employs woman who were displaced by the war in Uganda, Project 7 mints who's sales go to save the planet, Nika water which has a carbon neutral footprint, tees which when bought will fund a tree to be planted and on and on. She also has a worm farm which all food scraps go into to produce fertilizer for her plants and it is a no tip Solon unless you want to tip and then it goes to charity!
Dawn, your business model is great and I applaud you for making a difference whenever you have the chance. You're all about helping others and doing the best you can for your customers and the environment. We need more businesses like you. Thank you for all your hard work!
