This article found on NewsWorks, dated April 18, 2012, talks about a very small beauty shop that works to help folks with mental illnesses, or intellectual disabilities to improve how they look and even how they feel about how they look.  the shop is owned by someone who is a peer specialist who also has training in hair and hygiene.
