Five lucky ladies will get a complete makeover from fitness to food to fashion, all in the spirit of raising funds and excitement around the community’s beloved Lounsbury House. The makeover gets you “the works” including hair and makeup from Whip Salon, a workout plan from Fit Club, a healthy menu from Salt Sugar Spice and five ladies’ retailers including Audrey Road, Bahr & Co, Lucy’s, Olley Court and Underground.  

The fun part is that YOU can nominate someone to get a makeover...even yourself! The “after” makeover looks will then be unveiled at the live event on Thursday, April 16th at 6pm at the Lounsbury House showcasing the five lucky participants. 

“We are thrilled to be rolling out the #GetWhipped Makeover which involves a cross section of dynamic local businesses in an exciting and collaborative new way,” said Suzanne Brennan, Director of Lounsbury House. “Lounsbury LOVES the Whip Salon squad and I know that this dream team panel is going to make the lucky winners look and feel fabulous, all while raising money for our historic community center. It’s a feel good, win-win scenario.”

“We’re honored to team up with Lounsbury House for this unique event,” said Amy Pal owner of Whip Salon. “Part of our mission at Whip Salon is to give back to our community and I can’t think of a better fit for us since a makeover let’s us showcase what we do best. The squad is really excited to take on this challenge and work with other like-minded businesses in Ridgefield.”
