Cleveland, Ohio - June 28, 2007 - John Robert's Spa is once again helping those in need by taking part for the 14^th year in "Project Daymaker", organization which aim is to provide free haircuts and beauty care on a mobile salon for people who are in great need of loving care - abused children, battered women, and the homeless.

For John Robert's volunteers, Project Daymaker is a great opportunity to help rebuild these individuals' self-esteem and contribute in assisting them into the work force. "Project Daymaker is a very fulfilling experience", says Olivia Davis, John Robert's Event Coordinator and Hair Designer. "In our profession, there is nothing better than to be able to use your talents to enhance the life of someone else. When we leave this event there is such a feeling of pride knowing that what we do on a daily basis can be the spark that gives others new confidence and a great sense of being. It really is a remarkable thing to be a daymaker!"
