The seemingly minor expense of a haircut, averaging $25 to $40 per service in NYC, represents a significant, often overlooked financial burden for unemployed individuals with limited resources
While essential needs like food and housing are addressed by other services, the critical need for professional grooming—a key factor in making a positive impression during job interviews—is neglected.
A Voucher-Based Partnership Model redeemable for one free haircut at a network of approved, participating barber shops scross all five NYC boroughs.
The Clipper Campaign operates a voucher program redeemable for one free haircut at a network of approved, participating barber shops across all five NYC boroughs.
For Participants (Job Seekers): Qualified men actively seeking employment receive a certificate for a free, professional haircut at the barber shop of their choice.
For Barber Shops (Partners): Local barber shops enlist as partners, providing the service to certificate holders at no cost to the recipient.
Reimbursement & Technology: Through our secure digital portal, we provide donors an easy and simple method to donate to this cause, and we make it simple for partner shops to redeem the certificate for a negotiated fee, facilitating reimbursement within 24 hours (or immediately) of the online transaction.
