Saving Face
After doing some makeup sessions at About Faces for staffers from Sinai Hospital—including its president, Amy Perry—makeup artist Owen O’Donnell inquired about starting a program at the facility. “I’ve always been interested in corrective and camouflage makeup,” says O’Donnell, who adds that he would have become a nurse if he weren’t so squeamish. Twice a month, O’Donnell meets with patients, showing them what’s possible: “It always turns into this big thing when I’m there.”
Scissors Happy
Whenever hairstylist Rachael Epstein sees someone in need, she drops everything to help. “I was once one of them,” says Epstein, owner of Crafted Hair Studio in Hampden, who donates her time and services to cut hair for the homeless. “I know what’s it like.” Now partnered with #LetsFeedTheCity, Epstein, in addition to providing free hair services, also collects clothes and food for Baltimore’s homeless community.
