Monique Smith, Owner of Monique's Salon has been Awarded the Spokane Valley Community Care Award for 2008
Spokane Valley, WA - February 5th, 2009 - Monique Smith, owner of Monique's Salon in Spokane Valley, Wa and Bellevue, Wa was recently awarded the Spokane Valley Community Care Award for 2008.
I invite you to learn more about this generous woman and all she does to support her neighbors here in Washington State. Whether she is creating new job opportunities in Bellevue or styling and donating custom wigs for cancer patients in Spokane, Monique truly understands how to combine passion and know-how to create a solid business foundation.
Female cancer patients will tell you again and again that when they receive the diagnosis, their first thought is not about losing a breast--or even losing their lives--it's about losing their hair. After all, it's what they see when they look in the mirror and has so much to do with how people define themselves as individuals. As much as they may not want to admit it, hair loss is also devastating to men. Monique and her staff have an amazing ability to help clients work through this emotional quagmire to redefine themselves and hold their heads high.
This is possible because of the incredible skills and understanding of the people who work at Monique's Salon. Truly, their greatest asset is Monique herself. All across the state, medical providers know and trust Monique with patients who are undergoing some of the most traumatic experiences possible. From the time they step in the door, clients are treated with the utmost respect and consideration, and this begins the process that literally changes lives every day here in Washington.
Monique Smith is a board member for Wigs For Kids. Wigs for Kids is a non-profit organization that provides wigs and hair pieces to children in need, no matter their financial background. Currently Monique Smith is creating approximately 50 wigs per year for our local children. Monique is also a sponsor for Inland Northwest Candlelighters. Inland Northwest Candlelighters is an organization that helps our local children and their families when a child is diagnosed with cancer, because kids can't fight cancer alone. Monique also donates one custom wig per quarter to a child of Inland Northwest Candellighters choice.
Monique and her staff at Monique's Salon help sponsor one young girl in the Miss Spokane Valley Ambassador program and help the girls with their hair and makeup the night of the coronation.
Monique has recognized a need in this economic time to help men, women and child with image services. Currently, once per month a local resident is chosen to have a complete makeover by Monique's Salon and strategic partners within the community. The makeover could include, hair services, hair pieces if necessary, waxing, makeup, teeth whitening and much more.
Monique is a silver sponsor to the Spokane Valley Chamber. She supports all of the local schools, charities, fundraisers and local businesses through donations and auction items.
Monique was announced as the winner at the Annual Awards Gala on January 24th, 2009 at the Mirabeau Park Hotel.
Monique Smith, owner of Monique's Salon currently has two locations in Washington that focus on hair and image services with a specialty in hair replacement and restoration for men, women and children.
