Salon 188 owner Lisa Salmon held a cut-a-thon at her salon in April and offered discounted haircuts and other services to raise funds to support the Castle Rock ‘n Rollers, a local women’s roller derby team, of which Salmon is a team member. “I’ve been a stylist for 35 years and this is my first cut-a-thon; I thought this would be a great way to help raise money for the team,” said Salmon.
Salmon, known as “Nacho Mama,” (Salmon’s team moniker) is in training to earn a spot with other team members to compete in their league. Salmon’s daughter Penny, aka “Penny Butter and Jelly,” skates with a junior league team called “The Runaways.” The Castle Rock ‘n Rollers roller derby team was established in 2008 by a group of women from the Castle Rock area, some of whom had prior skating experience. Team members include businesswomen, stay-at-home moms, students, and others from all different age groups and stages of life. They promote camaraderie, community, and focus on the athleticism of the sport of roller derby.
Salon 188 is located at 363 Village Square Lane in Castle Pines. For information about Salon 188, call 720-733-8550 or visit www.salon188.com. For more information about the Castle Rock ‘n Rollers, visit www.castlerocknrollers.org.
