Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) when the
Real Big Hair Ball takes the stage 7 p.m. Sunday,
Sept. 30, at the Royal Oak Music Theater, 318
W. Fourth, in Royal Oak. The avant-garde entertainment, planned by local salons, features
creative fusions of hair, makeup and choreography. The Real Big Hair Ball started in 1986,
when Norman Wagner, owner of the London Calling Salon, was asked to provide the
entertainment before a fashion show. The connection to the fight against diabetes launched
in 2003 because two London Calling stylists had children with the disease. This year, the
show will tour to other cities in other states. Each ticket, priced between $20 and $30, will
have $5 set aside for the JDRF. The event is open to those 18 and older. (586) 778-6379.
