Haircuts to Help the Homeless

Patrick Lomantini is cutting across the country to raise funds for homeless animals. He'll stop at Bel Air's Bella Amici Salon on Aug. 12!

Need a haircut? Love animals? On Wednesday, August 12th, Patrick Lomantini, master stylist and owner of a salon in Wichita, KS, will cut (human) hair at Bel Air’s Bella Amici Salon to bring attention to and raise funds for the many wonderful animals at the Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC). On this, his fifth annual tour, Lomantini will travel to all 50 states in just 50 days to give haircuts each day – all for his love and passion for saving the nation’s homeless animals.

Lomantini will start cutting hair at 10am and his last appointment will be just prior to 8pm. Make an appointment now by calling Bella Amici at 410-588-5688. During his day-long cutting extravaganza, a minimum $20 donation will be collected per haircut. Lomantini doesn’t pocket any money; he is donating 100% of all proceeds to support the programs and services at HSHC.

Folks who are unable to attend are encouraged to donate $20 so a homeless woman or child from Anna’s House in Bel Air can get a haircut. Donations can also be made to assist Lomantini with gas and other travel expenses. Use the form below to make your donation or bring donations to Bella Amici Salon, 624 South Main Street (Rte 924) in Bel Air or The Humane Society of Harford County, 2208 Connolly Rd, Fallston. Donations should be clearly marked “FOR ANNA’S HOUSE” and all checks should be made payable to HSHC. The deadline to make a donation is Monday, August 10.

Adoptable animals who are looking for permanent homes will be visiting Bella Amici from 2pm until 5pm.
