BERKELEY, NJ — Hair Fantasy in Bayville has been providing free makeovers to anyone who has struggled over the past year. And the salon's owner wants people to know that the offer still stands.

Since March, owner Michele Fury has been donating a portion of her sales to cover the cost of hair dye and makeup for anyone who has fallen on hard times.
