Taste of Style PDX

Award-winning hairstylists, makeup artists and fashion designers unleash their creativity to help Oregon children experiencing the crushing emotional upheaval from medical hair loss.

In its sixth year, the unique runway gala showcases electrifying creations in fantasy hair, makeup and fashion. Proceeds directly benefit Oregon’s non-profit Angel Hair Foundation, which supplies superior-quality, medical hair prostheses to restore confidence and self-esteem in children who lose their hair through cancer or other medical conditions.

Since 2015, Taste of Style PDX has been committed to helping children in Oregon through family support. Since inception we have raised over $50,000 to support the Oregon Food Bank and their family food insecurity programs. We have recently switched our long-term support to Angel Hair Foundation; an organization that more closely aligns with our mission and has a direct impact on the lives of Oregon children. With your generous support, we will give Angel Hair Foundation a voice and fundraising avenue in the greater Portland metro area through our annual event, Taste of Style.

Taste of Style PDX is a 501c3 nonprofit. Donations may be tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Tax ID #82-4455467.

As we continue to navigate the unknown waters of COVID-19 and the continuous County recommendations and medication recommendations, we have implemented several measures to ensure that Taste of Style PDX 2020 Flower Power, Share the Love benefitting The Angel Hair Foundation still was able to happen safely.

Our first change to our 2020 show was to take it from an in-person attendance show to a fully ONLINE SHOW. Our second change was to reduce our staff and participant number down to 50 staff/participants combined on the night of the show to meet County guidelines and rules. Our third change is to require thermal scanning of each participant/staff person upon arrival at rehearsals and the event itself, as well as require the wearing of facemasks at all times (except on the runway, during which models will discard their used masks as they take the runway/stage and then will pick up new masks to put on as they exit the runway/stage) and every person is required to sanitize their hands upon entering and/or exiting a room and/or when going between rooms at designated sanitization stations in each room/area.

All of our HMUAs and Stylists are COVID-19 Safety Measures Certified and are required to use single-use application tools as well as fully sanitized and/or single use products. All garments are treated with COVID-19 sanitization spray before arriving on site at the venue on the night of the vent. All models are required to abide by the above-described measures, as are all staff and persons on the grounds during the night of the event.
