OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Barbers and hairstylists have gathered to give free haircuts to over 100 people living in Omaha homeless shelters.
113 people were given haircuts Sunday afternoon. Beauchamp Alejandro, owner of Evoluxion Barbershop, organized the event in conjunction with National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day, which is held annually on Dec. 21.
This was the first time that the event was held, but Alejandro says he and others visit shelters at least twice a month to give free haircuts.
In addition to a haircut, people were given a gift bag with grooming products and a meal courtesy of the MexiRican Restaurant.
