Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my haircut?

We ask you email us to make arrangements to come to your living facility.

Is there a cost to get my haircut?

No, all of our haircuts are free.

Do I have to get my photo taken
in order to get a haircut?

No, you can get a haircut without getting your photo taken. We will only take your photo with your permission.

Consent

Respect is the foundation of what we do, so before we take photos, we explain why we want to and how those photos will be used. Not all clients agree to have their photos taken and that’s ok with us. We feel their stories (the bios) are equally important and also share those only with their consent.
