Summer is in full-swing, but here at Hair Cuttery we’ve already got fall on our mind. For many children, the back-to-school ritual includes shopping for school supplies, picking out new clothes and getting a fresh haircut. Unfortunately for many children, this is not a reality. Our Share-A-Haircut program aims to change that by providing free haircut certificates to children whose parents or guardians may not be able to afford the service on their own. This initiative is so important to us because we truly believe in the transformative power of a fresh haircut – we feel it symbolizes a new start and provides a much needed boost of confidence to ease those first-day jitters.

Since the program began 18 years ago, we’ve donated over a million free haircut certificates to disadvantaged youth through our partnership with local government and social service agencies. We currently work with over 120 organizations to help us distribute the free haircut certificates to children in need across the country.

This year we’re committed to increasing the number of free haircuts we donate, but we need your help. So while you’re out back-to-school shopping, stop in to any Hair Cuttery salon from August 1-15 to get your child’s hair cut and we’ll donate a free haircut certificate to a child in need in your community. Make sure to take a picture with our Share-A-Haircut photo frame and post it to Instagram or Twitter with #ShareAHaircut to be featured in our wall gallery!

Together, we can help ease those first-day jitters by making our children look good and feel great! That’s the #BeautyOfGiving we believe in at Hair Cuttery!
