Spring Share-A-Haircut Campaign to Benefit Victims of Domestic Violence

April 11, 2016

Hair Cuttery and the National Network to End Domestic Violence Partner to Spread Awareness

Hair Cuttery and the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) are joining forces for Hair Cuttery’s latest iteration of its Share-A-Haircut program. On Monday and Tuesday, May 2-3, for every haircut purchased at one of Hair Cuttery’s nearly 900 salons, a free haircut certificate will be donated to a victim of domestic violence through NNEDV’s member programs.

“Our Share-A-Haircut program and the work of NNEDV are both incredibly impactful causes,” said Dennis Ratner, CEO and founder of Hair Cuttery. “Together, we are aiming to spread awareness about the hardships and injustices of domestic violence, while pampering and comforting those affected.”

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

“It is essential to be a voice for survivors who have been silenced by domestic violence,” says Kim Gandy, NNEDV President and CEO. “We are thrilled that Hair Cuttery is rising against violence and standing with survivors. This positive impact is two-fold—survivors have the opportunity to get pampered and relax amid the chaos that abuse brings, and they also save money on a service that they might not be able to afford—aiding in their financial empowerment.”

2016 marks the 17th year of Share-A-Haircut, with the program already having donated more than 85,000 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.
