Barber/Hairstylist

Save to Favorites

Northside Community Support Program "is a unique community of hope and safety for people with mental illness where you can be yourself, develop natural supports, and learn strategies to move forward in the world". To this end, being able to have a fresh haircut every couple of months goes a long way towards helping someone feel so much better, as well as being a valued member of the community. Many times a person can’t afford new shoes or new clothing, but if you can just get that haircut, it’s a big deal, and a real boost in self-esteem.

Northside Community Support Program is interested in collaborating with a barber or barbershop who would be willing to provide free or low-cost haircuts for primarily African American men. We would be able to spend up to $5 per person, with a maximum of 10 people per visit. Typically, about 5-7 people participate. It is our hope that we could connect with a local (Northside) business that is interested in helping out fellow community members on a once-per-quarter basis. Wednesdays are usually our community outing days, so if we would be able to schedule on that particular day of the week, that would, indeed, be fantastic.
