Human contact is vital to human beings. Studies show how imperative touch can be: babies who are not touched die; 90% of women in correctional facilities have experienced sexual violence or abuse before age 18; seniors who have a pet find that contact with another creature lowers their blood pressure. Many women who experience negative touch blame themselves for the experience. These women tend to isolate themselves from seeking out resources and developing friendships with women who have experienced similar situations. Beauty Night’s signature life-makeover program creates safe spaces where the participants are able to be themselves, make friends, and experience healthy touch. Health care, wellness and beauty professionals offer services such as relaxation massage, manicures, haircuts, facials, and much more.

Other services attached to the life-makeover program include group fitness and yoga classes, creation station programs, and child minding.

Beauty Night’s suite of programs includes:

• Life Makeover
