Beauty crawl fundraises for homeless APS students

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A unique event gave women in the community a way to say goodbye to summer with some much-needed self-care.

The End of Summer Beauty Crawl at the Waxing The City’s Rio Grande location offered free beauty services such as eyebrow waxing, hair styling, and make-up touch-ups.

The event allowed some moms to unwind after a summer filled with lots of quality time with their kids, all while supporting a good cause.

Waxing The City said since the crawl was so successful, they may look into doing more events in the future.
