Frank Brady’s name and voice would be familiar to many WOBM listeners from the 70’s and 80’s as his promoted his Beachcomber Salon in South Toms River by telling women they could look beautiful with his distinct Philadelphia accent. Frank has been in business for 40 years and remains very active in the community, serving as chairperson of the Ocean County Vocational School Foundation and he’s for many years made free wigs for cancer patients. However what he and his staff do for victims of domestic violence is something truly worthy of mentioning and saluting…which is what I’m doing today.
Providence House opened its doors in Toms River in 1990 and shortly after that Brady offered his services to the safe house for women and children who have been abused. His stylists and staff have performed countless numbers of free haircuts and colorings to these women who can certainly use anything to improve their self-esteem. This also includes children, especially during times like back-to-school and even proms and special occasions. Mary Pettrow of Providence House told me Brady’s long-term commitment to their organization has been nothing short of overwhelming.
The Beachcomber Salon is taking their generosity to a new level this year
by hosting a makeover party for about 40 women and children which will include food, giveaways and pictures which will be placed into decorated frames. And while Brady and his salon may have been the first to give their time and efforts others are now following and offering free services which is what he was hoping for all along.
Nice job Frank…you’ve started something really “beautiful.”
