Tangerine Salon and Spa, in partnership with area salons, presents United We Style, an elevated hair show and storytelling event, on Thursday, June 21 at Main Street Music in downtown Murfreesboro.
Using the Beatles-inspired theme of “Come Together Now,” UWS will feature stylists from Tangerine, What's New Salon, Rooster's Men’s Grooming Center, and The Social Chair creating hairstyles live on stage as professional storytellers and community leaders perform short stories based on their community involvement and life experiences. Local musician Jonny Gowow will provide the night’s musical stylings.
Featured storytellers include Kara Kemp, actress and Ringmaster of Tangerine Salon, and Kory Wells, inaugural poet laureate of Murfreesboro and founder of Poetry in the Boro. Presenting community leaders include Ynetia Avant, principal of Kittrell Elementary; Chase Salas, agent for Elite Insurance Solutions; and Kathy Ferrell, executive director of Red Cross Heart of Tennessee Chapter.
Mark Lamb returns to United We Style for the second time as a featured storyteller and storytelling mentor.
Hailing from Sturgis, KY, he resides in New York City as a choreographer, performer and storyteller. He is a six-time storytelling slam competition winner at the Peabody Award-winning Moth storytelling series and the 2016 Grand Slam champion for the state of Kentucky. Lamb's show "A Boy and His Dolly" was sanctioned by Dolly herself as an official event for the Dollywood Foundation and has toured in many forms throughout the U.S.A and internationally.
United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve lives by advancing opportunities for education, health and financial stability for all.
Funds raised for United Way of RCC stay devoted to local causes ranging from disaster relief, women's initiatives, housing, and educational programs.
Tangerine owner Jim McCarrall was motivated to partner with United Way because “Tangerine has always realized its potential for being a positive impact leader in the community, and a partnership with United Way seemed a natural fit for this grand scale fundraising event. Our company motto is Know Yourself. Grow Yourself. Draw others up.
This partnership event has helped Tangerine put almost $50,000 back into the community in four short years through United We Style and continued to uphold our motto.”
Tangerine Salon and Spa has been dedicated to the health and beauty of the Murfreesboro community for 19 years. Since 2013, Tangerine has been voted one of the nation’s Top 200 salons for its commitment to excellence in services and philanthropy as well as investing in the personal and professional development of its stylists.
