Rancho Mirage salon has official post-COVID opening, benefits Guide Dogs of the Desert

two years ago, Minks Organic Hair Studio opened in Rancho Mirage, just as businesses and events were beginning to shut down due to COVID.

“My opening day was March 13, 2020,” owner Rebecca Alcorn said. “We all remember that day quite well. The whole world shut down. We went the other direction from most and opened our place outside in the high temperatures and starting cutting hair and connecting our community.” Fast forward two years and “we are a thriving salon,” Alcorn said.
