We stand with this Texas student and their family in the unjust suspension. It's time to put an end to hair discrimination in places where our children should feel safe and protected. #HairEquality #TheCrownAct #naturalhair. ✊🏿💇🏿‍♂️

Hair and skin care is a crucial part of a child's cultural identity!

We believe every child & caregiver deserves to be supported with these needs.

If you are a caregiver who has adopted or is fostering a child of color, join our mailing list! Link in bio.

First haircut story!

“Larry made us feel welcome & a part of the community that he + his colleagues have built in their barbershop. He is so good & patient with Benjamin’s wiggling, & Benjamin is starting to look forward to haircut days.”
