Last May, Austin, Texas, nail salon Lacquer provided services to women who are rarely able to take time for themselves: mothers of chronically ill children.
When salon owner Jill Higginbotham learned that providing complimentary alcohol at the salon wasn’t allowed under Kentucky law, she immediately set out to change the law.
Nail tech Stephanie Shelton of Greensboro, N.C., started her charity, Heal the Sole, because she wanted to use her professional expertise to give back to the community.
