Debra Mack looked forward to a day of pampering when she walked into the Southwest Side salon Monday.

The Pacific Garden Mission resident had her hair cut and relaxed -- a rare luxury for her and the other 99 women treated to makeovers at Exotic Trenz Salon, 2605 W. 79th.

"It was a blessing," Mack said, admiring her new look.

About 30 Hair and makeup stylists volunteered their services for the daylong event for women battling cancer or residing at area shelters.

Hair Zone, a New Jersey-based firm, provided Sensationnel wigs and packages of hair, and Mount Prospect-based Perfect Results offered relaxers and other hair care products.
