Barbers Give Back
Community
The barbering community continued their tradition of giving back to the less fortunate in 2010. Barbers Only Magazine was fortunate enough to witness
and participate in many master barbers, student barbers, and barber schools that were involved in several charity events where their tonsorial services were
needed. One organization in Atlanta, 2nd Blessings Inc. combined to give hair care services to over 400 residents in homeless shelters during the Christmas
Holidays as well as the week of Fathers Day. The special event was greatly appreciated by the residents of the Atlanta shelter and was a positive event for
the over 30 barbers that were involved. In addition, another non-profit organization, which enlisted the help of several barbers, were a part of rapper T.I.’s
“Toyz in the Hood” event during the Christmas holiday. The rap superstar gave back to his old neighborhood in the Bankhead section of Atlanta by
providing toys for hundreds of kids. The positive event was witnessed by several hundred Atlanta residents as the cutting experts provided free haircuts for
the anxious kids as well. BOM thinks it is very important to give back to the less fortunate and hope the barbering and cosmetology industry will continue
to do their part to support their neighboring communities.
