Beauty school to help kids

Arlington Heights Empire Beauty School, 264 W. Rand Road, Arlington Heights, is joining other Empire schools nationwide in a fundraiser Saturday for Kids Peace, a 125-year-old organization dedicated to helping children cope with disaster, abuse, neglect and depression.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the school will donate 100 percent of its profits to the charity.

Nationwide, Empire schools are trying to raise $100,000 for Kids Peace.

Clients can make appointments, but walk-ins will also be accepted Saturday.

The school also is advance-selling coupons for $5 haircuts that can be redeemed on that day only.

Call (847) 394-8359 for details.
