WASHINGTON — Vienna, Virginia-based Hair Cuttery has been donating haircuts through various organizations for 17 years, and its latest haircut drive will benefit former servicemen and women.
Hair Cuttery agreed to donate one haircut to a veteran for every haircut its salons did on Veteran’s Day. It added up to 67,730 haircuts, more than double last year’s Veterans Day haircut campaign.
At $21 per haircut, that’s about $1.4 million worth of free cuts for vets.
The donated haircut certificates will be distributed to veterans in the communities where Hair Cuttery operates its nearly 900 salons. It has partnered with nonprofits and veteran’s organizations.
In August, a back-to-school program for a free haircut for disadvantaged children for every children’s haircut its salons did added up to almost 62,000 free haircuts.
Hair Cuttery has donated more than 2 million free haircuts worth about $33 million through its Share-A-Haircut programs.
