    Be a Cut Above -- Barbers & Hairstylists Needed

    Share your love for hairstyling while making a real difference in our community. You have the chance to provide hope and dignity to those who are homeless or struggling to make ends meet and don’t have the resources for a haircut. Whether it’s helping someone feel confident for a job interview or simply showing that they matter, your skills can truly brighten someone’s day.

    Time Commitment:

    • You can pick one shift a month or choose to do more, based on your schedule.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Give haircuts to people who are currently experiencing homelessness or are living on a tight budget, including clients at various Interfaith programs (like Recuperative Care, Recovery & Wellness, and Transitional Housing).
    • Take the time to discuss styles that suit their features and preferences.
    • Listen to what clients want and be open to their ideas.
    • Approach each interaction with patience and understanding.
    • Keep your work area clean and organized, ensuring a safe and healthy space.

    Qualifications:

    • You should have completed a barber or cosmetology program and be working toward your license.
    • A clean background check is required.
    • You should feel comfortable working with a diverse range of individuals.
    • It’s important to bring empathy, kindness, and respect into every interaction.

    Join us in this fulfilling opportunity to make a positive impact in people's lives through the simple yet powerful act of a haircut. Together, we can help our community members feel valued and inspired!
