RICHMOND, Va. — The Hair Palace hosted its 4th annual back-to-school event on Saturday, offering free haircuts and school supplies to Richmond students.
The community event featured free haircuts and hairstyles, school supplies, food and drinks.
Dozens of students received school supplies and new hairstyles during the event, which aimed to help families prepare for the upcoming school year.
"So we can uplift someone," Tasha Hamilton, The Hair Palace's community coordinator, explained. "We don't know anyone's situation, so without that being said, we want everyone to be happy, looking nice when they go back to school, no bullying, no picking on no other kids because we all are individuals and we're all made equally."
The event, which featured music and various vendors, helped ease the financial burden many families face during the back-to-school season.
