Look Good ... Feel Better is a free community-based, national service program.

Each woman learns how to do a makeover using complimentary cosmetics and skin care products donated by the cosmetic industry. Participants also learn about skin care, nail care and ways to deal with hair loss, such as wigs, turbans and scarves. Days of the week and times may vary according to participant’s and cosmetologist’s availability.
