Barber & Braid Back to School Bash 2025

Get ready to go back to school with fresh hair. This one-day event is open to all children in foster or adoptive families, ages 5-18. Please only register for children currently in your care/household. You will make a $25 deposit to reserve a braiding appointment or $10 deposit for a barber/haircut appointment. A specific appointment time between 2:00 pm and 5:30 pm will be sent to you once you are matched with a hairstylist/barber. You will receive a FULL REFUND for all appointments when you arrive on time (15 minutes before your appointment) and get your cut or braids. You will NOT receive a refund if you do not show up. 

The barber will provide basic haircuts and styles for boys and girls. Blow drying and/or styling will not be offered after a cut. For braids, see the styling options below for girls (medium to large braids, basic styles, nothing elaborate or complicated). Depending on the style you choose, you may need to bring supplies for braiding (hair braided-in will match your child's natural hair color). If you are getting braids, you will reach out to a stylist in advance to confirm details such as hair color and chosen style (a photo of your child's hair may be requested) and to be given preparation instructions. Please arrive with freshly washed and dried hair, as hair washing and drying are not provided.

Light snacks and activities will be available for kids while they wait.
