A fresh start can begin with something as simple as a haircut or manicure. 💇‍♂️💅

Through our partnership with the Essex Recovery Foundation, Open Road clients can access complimentary grooming services designed to boost confidence, encourage self-care, and support the journey of recovery.

✨ Classic manicures with Nail Technician Ramona at Salon Parkway
✂️ Gents wash, cut & finish at New London Barbers

These small moments of care can make a big difference in helping people feel ready for the next chapter.

Speak to your Recovery Worker to book.
