The Grooming Lounge

The Bria Janelle Foundation’s “Grooming Lounge” is an initiative dedicated to ensuring that every child in our local communities is equipped with confidence, positivity, and the essential tools for success. This event, held in January and July, provides free grooming and pampering services, including haircuts, hair styling, nail care, and more, to youth in need. Beyond personal care, our mission is to offer eye screenings and physicals as part of our long-term vision for community well-being.

Our Grooming Event is not just about personal care; it’s about boosting confidence, concentration, and overall well-being among children in our local communities. By providing these essential services and support, we empower youth to have a positive outlook and the tools they need to succeed. Join us in making a difference in the lives of our youth, ensuring that every child has access to the resources necessary for a confident and successful educational journey. Together, we can shape a brighter future for our community.

When I think about the Foundation, the first word that comes to mind is ‘phenomenal.’ Witnessing the expressions on the children’s faces, seeing how special and loved they felt—those moments encapsulate everything I could hope for as a Principal. The impact this Foundation has is truly extraordinary.

It’s our job to inspire, nurture, challenge and prepare our youth. To have a new partner in the Bria Janelle Foundation just proves how Gainesville continues to grow.
