Hair Cuttery Donating Free Haircuts to Domestic Violence Victims

It may not seem like much at first, but a fresh haircut for someone who feels like he or she is at the lowest point of life could be a small step toward regaining a sense of hope.

That’s why the Hair Cuttery and the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) are teaming up for Hair Cuttery’s Share a Haircut program. On Monday and Tuesday, May 4-5, for every haircut purchased at one of Hair Cuttery’s nearly 900 salons on the East Coast, in New England and the Midwest, a free haircut certificate will be donated to a victim of domestic violence through NNEDV’s national network.

Around Phoenixville, Hair Cuttery salons are located at:

• 785 Starr St., Phoenixville
• The Maplelawn Village Center, 542 Kimberton Road, Phoenixville

Through the partnership, Hair Cuttery and NNEDV will work closely to distribute free haircut certificates to individuals who are most in need. With the goal of donating 75,000 haircut certificates, beneficiaries will include women, children and men.

“Stepping up and stepping in for those whose voices and confidence have been stifled by domestic violence is at the core of NNEDV’s mission,” said Kim Gandy, President and CEO of NNEDV. “When a company like Hair Cuttery can offer their services and expertise, the impact is two-fold—it allows recipients to have a moment to relax and feel pampered and saves them money on a service they might not otherwise be able to afford.”

Last year marked the first time the Share a Haircut program was expanded to help not just children headed back to school, but the homeless, victims of domestic violence and veterans. In 2015, Hair Cuttery continues to build on that success, already having donated more than 50,000 certificates to the homeless in February.
