🎒 GIVING BACK & GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL! 📚✏️

We're proud to donate backpacks to the Utica Youth Bureau to help local kids get ready for another school year!

Utica has supported us for many years, and we’re always glad to step up and support our community whenever we can. Whether it’s big or small, we believe in giving back to the community that continues to support us every day. ❤️

A huge thank you to the Utica Youth Bureau for everything they do for the kids and families in our area!

Here’s to a great school year, Utica! 🎒📓✏️

✂️📚 Our Rec Room Turned Into a Barbershop Yesterday! 📚✂️

Thanks to the Utica Barber Project, 70 local children received free haircuts just in time for the new school year.

The barbers brought the full barbershop experience right to the Utica Rec Center, creating a welcoming space where every child could feel comfortable, and excited for their fresh new look. Giving every child an extra boost of confidence as they head back to school feeling refreshed and ready for a great year!

A special thank you to Nick LaBella for collaborating with us to organize and put on this incredible event, and to all the talented barbers who generously donated their time and skills!💈
