Xmas came early for 8 lucky women from the YWCA and EMBERS (Eastside Movement for Business & Economic Renewal Society.) The 8 women were treated to a complete make-over from Toni&Guy Vancouver and Dress For Success. The 8 women spent the morning at the Toni&Guy Vancouver salon getting their hair cut and colored. In the afternoon, the women were whisked away to the Dress For Success warehouse for a complete wardrobe make-over. Once an outfit was picked, it was back to the Toni&Guy salon for make-up.
To end the day, the women were treated to a one-on-one photo shoot with fashion photographer Wilson Law.
See Pictures below for before and after shots. More pictures coming tomorrow.

Responding to women's needs means ensuring that the right policies and infrastructures are in place to safeguard women's well-being and help them achieve safety and economic security. Although Canada has made some progress, research indicates that we are still far from having reached equality and equity. YWCA Canada's mission is to be a voice for women in Canada, one that brings about policy and legislative changes that reflect women's needs.
