Hair Cuttery Salons In Hunt Valley-Cockeysville to Provide Free Haircuts for the Homeless

For every adult or child who visits any Hunt Valley orย Cockeysville Hair Cuttery salon to purchase a haircut on February 4-5, a free haircut certificate will be donated to a homeless person right in their community through local organizations such as the United Way and Salvation Army.ย ย 

ย 

Hair Cuttery salons nationwide have participated in the annual August Share-A-Haircut program, where for every childโ€™s haircut purchased, one in turn is donated to a disadvantaged child in the community, just in time for back-to-school. Hair Cuttery is now adding another way to give with next monthโ€™s Share-A-Haircut for the homeless.
ย 
โ€œThrough our Share-A-Haircut program, more than 725,000 free haircut certificates have been donated to children in need over the years,โ€ said Dennis Ratner, Founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. โ€œWeโ€™re evolving this program so adults in the community who are in need of a fresh look for a job interview or simply for added self-confidence as they get back on their feet can benefit as well.โ€

In partnership with government and non-profit social service organizations near each salon location, vouchers are distributed to adults to obtain a free haircut this winter. Last year, 100,000 free haircut certificates were donated through Share-A-Haircut at nearly 900 Hair Cuttery salon locations nationwide, a result of excellent participation from Hair Cuttery communities.
