Carrie's Cuts

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗

At Carrie’s Cuts, I want my clients to feel cared for in more ways than just when they’re sitting in my chair. I also want to use this little platform of mine to help spread awareness, encourage women to know their bodies, and remind you to never ignore a change that doesn’t feel right.

Breast cancer awareness is something that is very close to my heart. I lost my mom to breast cancer in August 2025, and today would have been her birthday. Because of her, this month will always mean a little more to me.

Please take a minute to look over the information I shared below. Know the signs, keep up with your screenings, ask questions, and advocate for yourself. And if something feels different—please get it checked. 💕

Here’s to supporting the fighters, celebrating the survivors, remembering those we’ve lost, and continuing to spread awareness for the women we love.

This is open to everyone in Randolph County — families, friends, neighbors, grandparents, retirees… everybody! We’re just trying to create a fun place for people to come together, visit, and enjoy Halloween night. 🧡

Bring a lawn chair, bring a cooler, and come hang out with us! And if you’re someone who loves handing out candy but doesn’t get many trick-or-treaters at your house, we would LOVE to have you set up in the Carrie’s Cuts parking lot and hand out candy here. 🍬 We’re expecting lots of kiddos coming through, so the more the merrier!

You can decorate your trunk, set up a chair and candy bucket, or keep it as simple as you want. This would be perfect for anyone who lives outside of town, seniors, grandparents, or anyone who just wants to be part of the Halloween fun.

If you’d like a spot in the parking lot to hand out candy, just message me so I can make sure we have room for everyone! 🧡👻

Come as you are, bring whoever you’d like, and let’s make it a fun Halloween night for our community! 🎃🕸️

🇺🇸 Never Forget • September 11 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the brave first responders who ran toward danger to help others.

From Carrie’s Cuts, a heartfelt thank-you to our local fire departments and all first responders who answer the call to protect our communities. Your courage, sacrifice, and dedication never go unnoticed.

Keeping those who serve—and the families who stand behind them—in our prayers. We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙
