What Is The Ucare Foundation?
This unique foundation exclusively supports hair stylists and salon professionals who have experienced unexpected financial or medical tragedies. Gino Barbo, an industry veteran of over 30 years and owner of usmooth and Salon Service Group, wanted to find a way to give back to his loyal customer base. Having witnessed the devastation that underinsured stylists encounter when these types of financial hardships occur, Gino felt passionately about giving two percent of all usmooth salon sales back to the stylist community.
Kara's Story
“We are so thankful for organizations like ucare that helps others in their time of need. Almost 6 years ago they gave us a donation that helped me be able to stay in the city that my son was hospitalized for 96 days.”
Your support of the usmooth brand has enabled the ucare Foundation to give back over half a million dollars to the stylist community. If you or someone you know was given a medical prognosis and would like to share this story, please complete the ucare Foundation application below.
At usmooth 2% of all of our sales go directly to the ucare Foundation. We are now accepting direct Foundation donations through our website. If you would like to donate to the foundation, please select the button below.
