How Your Kid’s Back-to-School Haircut Can Help Others

Two for the price of one is almost always a plus – especially when both things can make you feel good.

With its “Buy One, Give One” program, Hair Cuttery’s Lexington salon is offering two back-to-school haircuts for the price of one, and one of those haircuts will be going to a disadvantaged child in the community.

Here’s how this Share-a-Haircut program works: For the month of August, every time a child aged 18-years or younger receives a haircut at Hair Cuttery, the salon will donate a free haircut to a disadvantaged child in the community.

“Share-a-Haircut is about the ritual of preparing for a new school year,” Dennis Ratner, the company’s founder and CEO, said in a press release. “A new haircut symbolizes a new start and new possibilities. We want kids to associate feeling good about themselves with getting ready for back to school.”

According to the press release:

Hair Cuttery donates one free haircut certificate (up to 100,000) to a child in need for every child’s haircut (18 years and younger) purchased during the month of August. The free haircut vouchers are valid up to Nov. 15 of this year. Hair Cuttery works with more than 150 local government and community organizations  to distribute the haircuts.  Nearly 900 salons nationwide will participate in this year’s event. 

Hair Cuttery is located at 1686 Massachusetts Ave. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 9 pm. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays.
