Three-13 Salon & Spa Partners with Cumberland Academy of Georgia for 2nd Annual Neurodiverse Prom Glam Day

MARIETTA, GA — For the second consecutive year, Three-13 Salon, Spa & Boutique opened its doors and its hearts to middle and high school students from Cumberland Academy of Georgia. The local salon provided complimentary, professional hair and makeup services to ensure the students’ prom night was an unforgettable, stress-free celebration.

The special event, tailored specifically for Cumberland Academy’s autistic and neurodiverse students, has quickly become a cherished annual tradition. Understanding that a bustling salon environment can sometimes be overwhelming, the expert team at Three-13 went above and beyond to create a welcoming, safe, and celebratory atmosphere. Stylists and makeup artists took dedicated, individual time with each student, remaining highly aware of their unique sensory needs—checking in on comfort levels, introducing tools gently, and adapting the environment to ensure a peaceful experience.

“Prom is a major milestone, but the preparation can feel overwhelming for students with sensory sensitivities,” said Debbi Scarborough, Founder. “What Three-13 does is pure magic. They didn’t just style our students; they truly met them where they were. Seeing our middle and high schoolers look into the mirror and light up with confidence is an experience our school community will cherish forever.”

This partnership highlights the shared mission of both organizations to foster confidence and community inclusion. By transforming a traditional salon experience into a sensory-aware space, Three-13 ensured that every student could fully participate in the pre-prom excitement. The students left the salon not only looking spectacular but carrying an extra boost of confidence as they headed off to dance the night away.
