A Hermiston barber, who works at Twist of Glam, organized an event offering people an opportunity to get a haircut free of charge.
Austin Erickson, aka AJ the Barber, initially planned Cuts of Love for Nov. 22, 2020. However, COVID-19 restrictions this past winter forced him to change the date. Erickson had hoped to reschedule it in January 2021, but again had to postpone planning as impacts of the pandemic lingered.
More than 8 months after it was first planned, persistence and patience finally paid off for Erickson. Cuts of Love was held Sunday, Aug. 1, at The Arc Building in Hermiston.
Nearly a dozen barbers and hairstylists donated their time and talents to participate in the project. Erickson said more than 100 people received fresh new looks. In addition, Daily Fix Nutrition, a smoothie and juice bar that recently opened in Hermiston, provided refreshments.
