Hair Cuttery Salon in Warwick to provide haircuts for homeless

Posted Tuesday, January 26, 2016 2:40 pm

On February 1 and 2 Hair Cuttery will host Share-A-Haircut for the homeless. Every time anyone receives a haircut at any of the Hair Cuttery salons in New England, including the salon in Warwick, a free haircut certificate will be donated to a homeless person in the community. By partnering with local shelters and community organizations, Hair Cuttery will work to distribute certificates to those who need them most.

“Our February program for the homeless is very special for our stylists and the entire Hair Cuttery family,” Dennis Ratner, founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery, said in a statement. “It’s incredibly powerful to see how one haircut can make an impactful difference in the lives of those less fortunate. It is truly heartwarming to be able to give such joy and confidence.”

Since 1999, the Share-A-Haircut program has donated more than 1.26 million free haircut certificates valued at nearly $25.2 million. This February, Hair Cuttery hopes to reach thousands of homeless people in the neighborhoods it serves.
