RUSK Helps Sandy-Struck Salons by Taking the 'w8' Off Their Shoulders with Product Donations

STAMFORD, Conn., Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Employees at RUSK, the world-renown professional haircare and styling brand, watched sorrowfully as many homes and businesses in their area were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.  Among those businesses: salons that have loyally carried RUSK products for years.
