On Monday, July 24, 2017, Oya Salon will host a collection of teens from Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County from 1pm to 3pm. Oya artists will give each teen a fresh looks with new haircuts, grooming tips, and styling. Stylists will talk about the importance of looking neat and presentable, especially for school and careers.

In coordination with Boys & Girls Club staff, teens have been working to put their best foot forward as the school year quickly approaches. Academic preparation, organizational preparation, and personal preparation ensure that the teens will be their most confident selves - important lessons for embarking on a new school or work endeavor.

"We are honored to have the opportunity to educate the youth on the importance of looking your best. It is vital to success. When you look good you feel good, when you feel good you feel confident," explains Brian Bode, owner of Oya Salon.

Brian Bode also plans to come to the Boys & Girls Clubs in the fall to talk to teens about his career and how he reached his goals.
