STYLIST BOOST

​OPERATING SINCE JANUARY 2019
​
Part of the Talent4Change Movement, this is an initiative that provides free barber, cosmetology and fashion services for the ones that need it most.

The services provided through this initiative are meant to help alleviate feelings of discomfort and or embarrassment by boosting up others physical appearance; and thus their confidence and self-esteem. In our efforts to give those we serve, as well as those who judge them, a "fresh perspective;" we team up with community service providers in the barber, cosmetology and fashion industry to deliver needed "Makeovers," or rather, "Do-Overs" for those needing a fresh start.
