The TIGI Livin’ the Dream Traveling Salon Tour bus arrives at Wild Orchids the Salon, 1328 Sunset Drive in Antioch, on Friday, Aug. 6. The bus, which once was home to rockers such as Velvet Revolver, Poison and Def Leppard as they toured the country, has been renovated into a tricked-out hair salon complete with styling stations and a lounge area.

While the bus has been traveling all over the country this summer, the trip to Wild Orchids is special because proceeds from the hair cuts performed that day will be donated to the Andrew Bishop Trust Fund to help pay the medical bills of Andrew, 15, who is battling leukemia.

Wild Orchids owner Lori Lopez has put together an entire afternoon of events to help raise money for Andrew, who is the younger brother of one of Wild Orchids’ stylists. Expect an afternoon of live music, dance performances, fashion and wild styles. Here’s the rundown of the Livin’ for the Dream & Rockin’ for a Cure schedule:
