Just Blow Drys and Wink Lash & Beauty Bar located on El Paseo in Palm Desert
are giving back to Shelter from the Storm
Just Blow Drys and Wink Lash & Beauty Bar believe in compassion and making a difference in their community. The sister salons have grand opening festivities planned for January 24 – 27th and have dedicated themselves to “pampering with a purpose.”
A festive and philanthropic evening is planned on Thursday, January 24 from 6 – 8 pm at the salons located at 73375 El Paseo Drive, Suites D & G in Palm Desert. The special event entitled “Compassion is a Beautiful Thing” will benefit Shelter from the Storm. The retro-glamour themed evening will encourage guests to mix and mingle, enjoy the music, champagne and a delectable dessert bar. The public is invited to attend and will have a chance to win a bevy of prizes including a pair of tickets to the Frank Sinatra Invitational Golf tournament, a deluxe Spa package from Wink Lash & Beauty Bar and a six pack of blow drys from Just Blow Drys. Guests are encouraged to bring a special teddy bear of their choice that will be given to the shelter children. A donation of $10 at the door is appreciated. All proceeds will be donated to Shelter from the Storm, the valley’s only dedicated provider of services to victims of domestic violence. The event is limited to the first 150 guests who RSVP at 760.674.5800.
In addition, during the 24th – 27th both salons are generously donating 10% of all services purchased to Shelter from the Storm to help Coachella Valley’s women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
“We are so pleased to partner with Just Blow Drys and Wink Lash & Beauty Bar. Every dollar is needed at the shelter as we are at full capacity serving the women and children countywide. The lives of thousands of abused women and children depend on events such as this to keep our community safe,” said Bobby Downey, President of the Sheltering Sisters, the fundraising auxiliary from Shelter from the Storm.
Tracy Worthington, Owner and Founder of both salons, is a Palm Springs High School graduate and recently moved back to the desert from Los Angeles to open her trendy new businesses. According to Tracy, “We are honored to join the Palm Desert business community and look forward to growing our businesses here. We believe that giving back to others is good business and look forward to doing our part to support the community.”
About Just Blow Drys
Immaculately blown-dry hair was once reserved for celebrities and the wealthy at a luxury salon. These days, in a phenomenon that is sweeping the nation, anyone can have that special chic-looking hairstyle in 30 minutes for a mere $35. Just Blow Drys has brought this popular concept to the desert and opened its doors in Palm Desert on El Paseo. They are committed to providing the best blow drys in a beautiful retro-glamour salon and relaxing environment. The salon offers 5 signature styles or they can do custom hairstyles upon request. As the salon name indicates, they’re not a full service hair salon and specialize in just blow drys.

About Tracy Worthington
Tracy Worthington founder of Wink Lash & Beauty Bar and Just Blow Drys was raised in Southern California and graduated Palm Springs High. She left the desert to pursue a career in beauty. Over the past 25 years, Tracy has worked in salons, and done hair and make-up in the entertainment industry.
One of Tracy’s favorite ways to relax is in a long hot bubble bath. She turned her passion into a successful business, and created Ooohlala of Beverly Hills, and soon became known as “Queen of the bubble bath.” With its whimsical packaging, luxurious scents, and amazing performance of the products, it’s on the shelves of the most exclusive boutiques, spas, and department stores world-wide as well as in the vanity sets of many of today’s top A-List celebrities!
Tracy has also developed an exclusive line of successful skin care products. Several years ago, Tracy wanted to pursue another passion, which is skincare. So she went to work developing a botanical based skin care line called “Tracy Worthington 20, 30 40 platinum.” A natural skin care line geared towards skin concerns of each age group. It has made its debut at Wink Lash & Beauty Bar.
After leaving Beverly Hills last year Tracy has returned back to her roots. Not only did she open two new salons she brought her many years of experience, passion and unique ability to make every woman look and feel their best. What a gift for the women of the Coachella Valley.
