Haircuts with Heart and hairstylists all around Oakland, CA are hosting a day-long event providing free hair services, lunch, community, and personal care to the girls at MISSSEY INC.  The event is scheduled for Tuesday, August, 16 from 10-5 PM Pacific at the MISSSEY Center, 436 14th St., Ste. 150 in Oakland, CA. Lunch for the participants is free and is being donated by local restaurants.

MISSSEY is a community based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of ending child exploitation and empowering its victims. They work with other organizations and the public to spread awareness about this terrible epidemic.

Haircuts with Heart is a new not-for-profit organization providing haircuts, hair care products, lunch, and a sense of well-being to the homeless, disenfranchised and those struggling to become their very best in the world. Most recently, Haircuts with Heart and local stylists gave haircuts to homeless veterans at Operation Dignity, another vital organization helping to bring a sense of hope, pride and optimism in the Oakland area.

Haircuts with Heart was founded by hairstylist and salon owner Rebecca Beardsley. With a strong desire connect with the community around her, Beardsley wanted to give back to the city that has given her so much.

Beardsley notes, “I love what I do, and after opening my small salon, I felt the need to be part of something larger, be a part of a solution for the people less fortunate. I love the idea of stylists working together from different salons coming together for a common goal of helping people, beyond business.”

To donate your services or for more information, contact Beardsley at 510-459-8967 or visit MISSSEY online at http://www.MISSSEY.org.
