Shop Jeffre Scott, Brings Hope to Animals in Need

Jeffre Scott, known as the “Michelangelo of browshaping, wants to give back to the community, especially to those who can’t help themselves: the homeless and unwanted animals of the Charlotte area.
So the Myers Park boutique, the area’s premier one-stop shop for luxury beauty products and services, has for the second year in a row partnered with the Humane Society of Charlotte for the month of August.
“I have always had a soft spot for animals and I am committed to helping them every year as they are not able to help themselves,” says boutique owner Jeffre Scott, who with partner Charlton Alicea owns four rescue animals: dogs Joey and Cody, cats Bella and Piper.
Ten percent of sales from Aug. 1-31 will be donated to the non-profit, space-available shelter. Jeffre has also made a donation to the silent auction of the group’s Ties & Tails Gala , scheduled for Nov. 5 at the Ballantyne Hotel.
The shelter is proudly a no-kill facility, meaning euthanasia is reserved for those cases where an animal is suffering or poses a public safety concern.
Founded in 1978, the mission of the Humane Society of Charlotte is to “bring love and hope to all animals by ensuring the humane treatment of companion animals through adoption, spay/neuter and education.”
A life-long fat girl, Sommer Johnson decided to strap on some fancy tennis shoes, wrestle into a sports bra that would likely be one size too small (they always are--that's what you get with big boobs), and go on a 38 week journey to run the Peachtree Road Race. In the midst of trying to find her healthier self, she found that her struggle was not all that rare. Between the full-figured audience of her online publication, Gemini Magazine, and friends who were rowing up the fat river with no paddle, Sommer decided to share her journey to help women like her get past their fears (and get moving--literally). A runner newbie, Insanity graduate, Turbofire enthusiast, and foodie experimenter, Sommer Johnson is a 32 year old mother of 2 and wife of 1 who lives in Atlanta, GA.
