Michael Ethyn, owner of Me & You Salon in Carrollwood, travels to Cuba as expert salon educator and philanthropist Tampa, FL – Michael Ethyn (owner, stylist, and educator at Me & You Salon in Carrollwood) traveled to Havana, Cuba as an expert salon educator and philanthropist on November 5-10, 2019. In addition to donating thousands of dollars worth of equipment and product to Cuba’s future stylists and salon owners, Michael Ethyn led hands-on classes at Artecorte in topics such as consultation, cutting, color, style, and keratin treatments. Michael Ethyn’s grandparents were born in Cuba, and he took his wife and children to the country last summer. As a dedicated philanthropist, both locally and internationally, Michael Ethyn instantly made plans to return and do whatever he could to help. After returning on November 10th, Michael said, “I was very sad to see this trip come to an end. I returned to Cuba to educate, but in the end, I feel that I was the one who was educated. Our governments may not see eye-to-eye, but the Cuban people love and want us there badly. Our spare change brings massive change to their lives. The Cuban people deserve a better life. Even so, they are so much happier simply living than we are. It is a poignant reminder of what is important in life. This was not goodbye, but rather until next time.” Michael Ethyn will be continuing this relationship and returning to Cuba several times this year.
