explained. “But then a miracle happened! As quickly as she
had been put in the hospital, suddenly her lungs were fine,
and she was looking at a second chance at life.”
Geib was so moved by
the story that she traveled to
the small town of Hudson,
Michigan, to meet with the
woman, Belinda Robbins.
Geib got to see her salon,
Make-N-Waves, which was
a bit outdated, and made an
offer to Robbins.
“I said, ‘I will give you all
of my equipment I have in
storage if you let me come in
here with a crew, gut it and
bring it up to speed,’” Geib
said. “My request was that
she give me the reigns to make the decisions and decorate
for the redo, and it would be like a ‘sister salon’ of Salon
Salon of Charleston.”
Soon after the two met, Geib, Robbins’ brother and a
few friends loaded up the equipment and made the trip to
Michigan. Over their two-week stay, the team gutted the
salon, installed new floors, painted it, installed the new
equipment – all paid for from
their own pockets – and gave
the salon a second chance at
life as well.
“It was a small town, and
word spread quickly about
what we were doing. The lo-
cal paper there even ran a big
article about Charlestonians
sharing love, but, if anyone
deserved this, Belinda did,”
said Geib. “She had gone
from a waiting list for a lung
transplant and on disability
to beating her lung disease.
What better way to wake up every day than to be able
to go to your place of business? She calls me daily and is
still in awe of what we did for her. It makes my heart feel
good.”
