Anna Clark, Lady 280, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Lady 280 is a safe, inclusive hair salon located in Colorado Springs, CO which also offers services for victims of sexual trafficking and violence. Founder and owner Anna Clark works with victims of violence whose hair has been shaved, dyed, or burned by those abusing and exploiting them as a "stamp of ownership" and as a way to make them look less reliable to law enforcement. She often works with clients just prior to court appearances for charges against their abusers to help provide confidence and to enhance their standing in the eyes of the court.

Because of its location just off I-25, Colorado Springs sees high numbers of sex trafficking victims. In addition to working directly with sexual trafficking victims, Clark offers training for new stylists and for others interested in offering hair and beauty services to sex trafficking victims.
