Hair Cuttery

Thanks to all Hair Cuttery Stylists and Clients in Massachusetts for raising $1,500 for the Home for Little Wanderers! The Home is a nationally renowned, private, non-profit child and family service agency. It has been part of the Massachusetts landscape for over 200 years, making it the oldest agency of its kind in the nation and one of the largest in New England. Originally founded as an orphanage in 1799, The Home today plays a leadership role in delivering services to thousands of children and families each year through a system of residential, community-based and prevention programs, direct care services, and advocacy. Hair Cuttery will match 100% of the funds collected. Donations will be collected until December 24th.

Hair Cuttery, the largest family-owned and operated chain of hair salons in the country, participated in HAIRraising, a regional cut-a-thon to benefit Children's Hospital Boston. Hair Cuttery, in partnership with the HAIRraising organization, offered $10 haircuts at all New England Hair Cuttery salons on September 26th with 100% of proceeds benefiting the hospital. Participating Hair Cutterys included salons in Cambridge, Brookline, Arlington, Watertown, Waltham, Framingham, Medford, Hudson, Worcester, Revere, Saugus, Wareham, Westfield, Westborough, Woburn and Springfield.

On September 26th, the 36 salons in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire remained open after hours from 5 pm - 8 pm to participate in the cut-a-thon. "We are very excited to partner with John Frieda and his HAIRraising campaign to benefit Children's Hospital Boston," says Dennis Ratner, Founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. "We believe in doing good things for great causes, and there is no cause as great as Children's Hospital Boston."

Founded by renowned stylist John Frieda and his longtime business partner Gail Federici, HAIRraising enlists the hairdressing industry to benefit children's hospitals worldwide. HAIRraising is committed to going great lengths to ensure that Children's Hospital Boston patients continue to receive the best possible care.

Thanks to our Clients and our Stylists Hair Cuttery's 11th Annual Share a Haircut was huge success! This year, Hair Cuttery Stylists donated 60,000 free haircuts to disadvantaged children so they could start the new school year looking great and feeling confident. From August 1st through 15th, every time a child (aged 18 years old or younger) received a haircut at any of the nearly 900 Hair Cuttery salons, a free haircut was provided to a disadvantaged child in the community. Free haircut coupons were distributed to needy youngsters through local Social Service Agencies just in time for kids to have a fresh new haircut for the first day of school! So far Hair Cuttery has donated over 560,000 free haircuts to kids in need through its Share a Haircut program. Click here to read the Final Press Release for Share a Haircut 2010.

Thanks to all our caring stylists and clients for showing overwhelming support for our hair collection program and being committed to making a difference in their communities. Because of you, Ratner Companies, with the help of Fedex, has been able to ship six thousand pounds of hair to the Gulf Coast. Matter of Trust, the nonprofit organization that makes hair booms and mats that soak up oil, has warehouses full of hair booms ready to be deployed if needed.

We have learned that, at this time, BP does not intend to use the hair booms to help clean up oil in the Gulf. However, we have been assured by Matter of Trust that they will be used to clean up less disastrous oil spills that occur with great frequency in the US.

On behalf of the Ratner Family and all Ratner Companies' associates, thank you for supporting this effort to protect and preserve our environment in the face of this eco-catastrophe.
