Pink October and a soft pink manicure

All of October 2026.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which the American Cancer Society helped start in 1985. It is a month for talking about early detection and access to care, and many people mark it by wearing pink.

A soft pink manicure is an easy way to join in. Julie can do a sheer blush that looks natural on short nails or a deeper rose with more presence, and you can wear either on its own or with a ribbon pin. Julie carries hundreds of colors, so if you have a specific shade in mind, just say so. We are not raising funds with this. It is simply a way to show someone you love that you are thinking of them.

If you are due for a screening, the American Cancer Society publishes its breast cancer screening guidelines, and your own doctor can tell you what fits your history. Our part is smaller, a calm hour in a quiet salon. We work by appointment, so book ahead if you would like pink nails before a gathering or a walk this month.
