Hair Cuttery locations in Arlington, Burlington, Lexington, Littleton, Wilmington and Woburn will be donating back-to-school haircuts to children in need this August.
From Aug. 1-15, for every child up to age 18 who purchases a haircut at any of the Hair Cuttery salons in New England, a free haircut will be donated to an underprivileged child in the community.
“Share-A-Haircut allows us to give back in a way that is simple, but meaningful,” said Dennis Ratner, founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. “On the first day of school, everyone deserves to look and feel their best, and our stylists love nothing more than being able to give children in their community a much deserved boost of confidence.”
This is the 16th anniversary of the program and Hair Cuttery aims to donate tens of thousands of free haircut certificates. Certificates are distributed with the help of more than 100 local government and nonprofit organizations that are closely tied to each community.
To date, the Share-A-Haircut program has donated haircut certificates to more than 925,000 children. These certificates are valued at a total of $16.65 million.
