Project Beauty programs:
BEAUTY PAMPER DAYS - A program that brings self-care services like hair styling, makeup, and esthetics to shelters and transition homes all over DFW so that we can maximize the impact of the healing power of beauty.
-We go into shelters on a regular schedule to provide these services.
-All volunteers are licensed beauty professionals such as hairstylists, massage therapist and estheticians.
THE ANGEL CLINIC - a program that restores beauty and hope for survivors of domestic violence and sex trafficking. We provide restorative procedures such as tattoo removal and scars revision caused by past abuse.
-One of our success stories is helping a young woman in 2018 with a prosthetic eye replacement. She lost her right eye due to being punched by her past abuser. We were able to fund the entire replacement cost. We were also able to provide transportation and to be there for her at the date of the procedure.
-We have formed a network of licensed medical providers that provide services free of charge or at reduced cost. Project Beauty pays for all services.
THE GIFT OF BEAUTY - a program that provides every survivor in the Dallas shelters we serve with a full-size make up bag filled with self care beauty items that not only restore confidence. It also empowers survivors to love themselves through self care.
-The full size makeup bags filled with many necessary items they need for job interviews and for self care. For many of these women, this is the FIRST TIME they ever owned a makeup bag. Since most women were not even permitted to wear makeup from their abusive relationships.
-100% of the women who received our beauty bags felt more confident!
TRAUMA HEALING - A program where we bring therapeutic services and classes like art therapy, journaling, affirmation writing and confidence building workshops to Dallas shelters so that we can help support self-healing from the inside and out.
-Project Beauty believes in holistic healing. We encourage survivors to take an active role in their healing journey, while also encouraging a space where they can express their emotions and feelings.
-Teaching about self love and self care are important steps in the healing journey. Many women do not understand they have a right to feel good, valued, and loved. We are proud to provide that space for them.
