ABC's Extreme Makeover Guest Stylist Michael O'Rourke Donates Hair Styles Makeovers

Ron Paul Salon, Virginia Beach, VA, and Sexy Hair Concepts team up to support cancer research at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

By Perriann Rodriguez

With the popularity of makeovers these days, the Style for a Cure Makeover event by Ron Paul Salon and Sexy Hair Concepts, founded by Michael O'Rourke was a huge success. Anyone who made a donation to the hospital during the month-long event this summer had the opportunity to win one of three makeovers by ABC “Extreme Makeover’s” guest stylist and “Stylist of the Year” Michael O’Rourke.

Style for a Cure is a fundraising effort that allows stylists to use their professional talents to raise money for the hospital. Ron Paul Salon and Sexy Hair Concepts are the first to participate in the Style for a Cure nationally.

All proceeds went to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. At St. Jude, children who meet medical requirements are treated without regard to a family’s ability to pay. Families never pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance and families without insurance are never asked to pay. So when you donate to St. Jude (see www.stjude.org) you are directly helping children get treatment for catastrophic childhood diseases.

The three makeover winners received fabulous makeovers that enhanced their facial features and style. See photos online at www.hairresources.com. Michael O’Rourke, the makeover master, first studies the person to decide what drastic measures can be made for improvement. He looks at the most enhancing features and the personality traits of the person. Then he tries to go after these features by exaggerating and/or enhancing them to bring out the best in the person.

Michael O’Rourke is the founder of Sexy Hair Concepts, (see website www.sexyhair.com ) a fast-growing hair care products company. Sexy Hair is distributed in more than 60,000 licensed salons within the United States and is also distributed in over 20 countries worldwide.

American Pie 3” with Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan and “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” with George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Drew Barrymore).
