Together, We Keep Hartford Strong

Every snip of the clippers, every smile after a fresh cut, and every handshake of encouragement matters.


Your support allows Scissors Society Inc. to continue using the art of barbering as a tool for education, empowerment, and community transformation.

When you contribute, you’re not just funding an event —
you’re helping to build a future where Hartford’s barbers, students, and neighbors thrive together.

The man in front is kneeling with his arms outstretched, smiling. The people are dressed casually, with some in blue shirts, and the weather is partly cloudy.

Your generosity helps ensure that no one in our city is left behind — not in opportunity, not in access, not in care.
Together, we can keep this movement growing and prepare for our Fifth Annual No Hair Left Behind celebration.
