The Scout Guide Wilmington

September 14, 2018,

Hurricane Florence made landfall over Wrightsville Beach. Devastating winds, storm surge, heavy rain, and historic flooding left a lasting impact that is still felt in our region nearly one year after the storm has passed. In the days, weeks, and months following the storm, our community united by showing kindness, generosity, and resilience to help family, friends, neighbors, and strangers who were affected by the storm and its aftermath. The businesses and organizations featured in these pages sprang into action and continue to support the recovery effort. They embody one of The Scout Guide’s core tenets of “being proactive, engaged members of our communities.” Whether you are a year-round resident, seasonal resident, or just passing through town, I encourage you to seek out the businesses in these pages. Supporting them sends a ripple effect throughout our community as we continue to rebuild and recover from Florence. I believe in living well. I believe in living local. I believe in Wilmington. – Jen, Editor & Owner

Our inspiration comes from the relaxed glamour of the French Riviera. It’s a Chanel lipstick and drugstore bronzer, last year’s swimsuit and a $300 cover-up, French fries and champagne. It is whatever looks beautiful, feels right, and tastes good. So, whether you get Hand-Tied Hair Extensions, our signature Tropez Highlight, Balayage, or a French Haircut, we make looking great easy.
