Hair and beauty franchise Hairhouse Warehouse has won one of three major awards for its partnership with Eating Disorders Foundation of Victoria (EDV), promoting positive body image in Australia.

The franchise network will continue with its contribution to EDV and assist in improving the Eating Disorders Helpline, marketing and graphic design as well as supporting community events.

“For some people, the idea of eating disorders can be very confrontational. We sometimes have unrealistic expectations of what people look like and we are an organisation that challenges these expectations,” said Arthur Mitroulas, general manager at Hairhouse Warehouse. “Being part of the fashion and beauty industry we understand our role in spreading the message about positive body image to our customers.”
