CHARITABLE EVENT: August 1-15 Haircuts Help Disadvantaged Children

Hair Cuttery Shares a Haircut
At Hair Cuttery, they believe a new haircut on the first day of school can be a big confident boost to a child. Through the company's Share A Haircut program, they partner with local social service agencies to provide back-to-school haircuts to children in need in the community.
Bring your child into any Hair Cuttery salon from August 1-15, and for every haircut a child (age 18 years old or younger) receives, the salon will donate a free haircut to a disadvantaged child in the community.
Over the years, Hair Cuttery has donated more than 380,000 haircuts!
The company has more than 900 salons nationwide. Massachusetts locations include:
