Our barbershop station allows folks to receive haircuts and shaves free of charge. Not only is this beneficial towards their hygiene and self-esteem, but has shown to also increase employment opportunities. Additionally, it provides a sense of rest with a trusted barber who can provide a friendly experience. We are extremely grateful to all who can offer this service. If you are not yet licensed but are in school to get your license, please reach out so we can discuss further.
