Share-A-Haircut Campaign Partners with National Network to End Domestic Violence

Hair Cuttery and the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) have teamed up to raise awareness about domestic violence through the Share-A-Haircut program on Monday, April 30 and Tuesday, May 1. For every haircut purchased at one of the Hair Cuttery’s nearly 900 salons, a free haircut certificate was donated to a survivor of domestic violence through a network of state coalitions and local programs nationwide.

“Hair Cuttery is committed to reaching those in our local communities, who are among the millions across the country, that have fallen victim to domestic violence,” said Dennis Ratner, Co-Founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. “Our goal through this continuing partnership with NNEDV is to support survivors of domestic violence in a very real way and help spread awareness about this pertinent societal issue.”  

Through the partnership, Hair Cuttery and NNEDV workrd closely to distribute thousands of free haircut certificates to individuals affected by domestic violence, including women, children, and men. 

“With 99 percent of domestic violence victims experiencing financial abuse, the gift of a fresh haircut can make a world of difference. A haircut is not only a gift that supports economic empowerment, but also gives survivors a moment to practice self-care,” says Kim Gandy, NNEDV President and CEO. “Hair Cuttery’s continued support is the kind of commitment that creates change.”

This year marks the 19th year of Share-A-Haircut, with the program already having donated more than 46,000 certificates to the homeless in February. Hair Cuttery has an established history of charitable giving that has supported a range of local and national causes including: St. Baldrick’s Foundation, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, and Girls on the Run.
