At Stilisti, a Salon Retreat on Newbury, giving back is woven into the fabric of who we are. Under the leadership of founder Marisa Marino, the salon’s mission extends beyond beauty—it’s about empowering others, fostering opportunity, and making a meaningful impact both locally and globally.
Our collective passion for mentorship and community drives the salon’s continued support of organizations that align with Stilisti’s values of compassion, education, and care. Through ongoing charitable partnerships, events, and initiatives, the team dedicates its time and talent to causes that uplift lives and inspire positive change.
BEADS for Education
Stilisti proudly supports BEADS for Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities for young women in Kenya. BEADS (Beads for Education, Advancement, Development, and Success) sponsors girls through secondary school and beyond, helping them achieve independence and leadership within their communities.
Marisa and the Stilisti team believe deeply in the power of education to transform futures. Supporting BEADS for Education allows the salon to contribute to a cause that creates long-term impact—helping students gain access to quality education, safe housing, and mentorship programs that empower them to build brighter futures.
Through fundraising efforts and awareness initiatives, Stilisti continues to honor its commitment to helping young women around the world pursue their dreams, one opportunity at a time.
HairRaising for Boston Children’s Hospital
Closer to home, Stilisti proudly participates in HairRaising, an annual event in support of Boston Children’s Hospital. This special day combines the salon’s creativity with a heartfelt cause, raising funds to support the Benderson Family Heart Center—a world leader in pediatric cardiac care.
Annually, our team hosts a children’s day at Stilisti, offering children’s haircuts at a discounted price. One hundred percent of proceeds from the event benefits the Benderson Family Heart Center, directly supporting lifesaving care for children and their families.
In recognition of their ongoing dedication and generosity, Marisa Marino and the Stilisti team were recently honored with a Lifesaver Award—a testament to their compassion and commitment to making a difference in the Boston community.
A Commitment to Community
From global education initiatives to local hospital fundraisers, Stilisti’s efforts reflect a belief that beauty is not just about appearance—it’s about connection, kindness, and giving back. Marisa’s leadership continues to inspire her team to use their artistry for a greater purpose, creating a ripple effect of empowerment and hope that extends well beyond the salon.
