HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Dozens of students received free haircuts Monday at Muhaimen Barbershop as part of a back-to-school giveaway.
Ahmed Alazawy has made it his mission for years to give back to families and ensure children feel confident heading into a new school year. The initiative stems from a difficult period in his life when he was diagnosed with cancer.
Alazawy says thanks to God, his community and VCU Health, he was able to make a full recovery.
Every student, from first grade through middle school, received a fresh cut of their choice at no cost.
Free back-to-school haircuts for elementary and middle school students will be offered from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Aug. 25. Muhaimen Barbershop is located at 1127 Gaskins Rd #400 in Henrico.
