BeautyWorx Salon and Day Spa, at 7242
Frankford Ave., is participating in a work exchange program with
students from Austin Meehan Middle School in Mayfair.
The goal of the program, which began in November and continues
through May, is to help students work effectively with others, understand
leadership roles and learn how systems are effectively organized.

Students from Austin Meehan Middle School work
with the professionals at BeautyWorx,
part of an
exchange program with the school and the salon. |
"By addressing these goals, students gain the skills and knowledge
necessary to become productive citizens and employees in a culturally
diverse society," said program director Vera White.
"I am excited for the opportunity to be a part of this program,"
said BeautyWorx Worx owner Lois Burak.
"Respect for businessmen and for consumers seems to be lacking
these days. I believe a strong work ethic is crucial to promoting
a healthy economy. Anything I can do to encourage the return
of good, old-fashioned customer service I'd gladly take on."
Students spend one and a half hours at the salon on Mondays and
Wednesdays. Some of the students' responsibilities include
confirming appointments, filing, decorating the salon and handing
out promotional fliers.
