If you are a beauty industry professional, You Can Make a Difference wants to enable YOU to make a difference!
The You Can Make a Difference Foundation works with establishments and trains professionals in the beauty industry to identify potential melanoma skin cancers on their clients. Upon noticing a suspicious-looking spot, the professional will refer the client to a network of qualified dermatologists for a thorough skin examination. It is this early identification and follow up that potentially can make a difference between life and death.
YOU can make a difference by choosing to get trained for this importance cause; you also can join us by training others and sponsoring our efforts.
If you are a beauty industry client, You Can Make a Difference wants to enable YOU to make a difference!
The You Can Make a Difference Foundation knows that millions of people go to professionals for haircuts, massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, skin care needs or makeup consultations. Typically clients purchase these types of services from professionals far more often than they visit their dermatologist. If properly trained, these same professionals could be among the first to identify a potential melanoma skin cancer on the scalp or other area on the client’s body. This training potentially could save a life.

“If melanoma is recognized and treated early, it is almost always curable, but if it is not, the cancer can advance and spread to other parts of the body, where it becomes hard to treat and can be fatal. While it is not the most common of the skin cancers, [melanoma] causes the most deaths.”
