A project as simple as it sounds - Ten-year-old children will cut your hair, for free!

Following successful runs in Los Angeles, Toronto and Birmingham, Haircuts By Children invited you to take part in an event that tested your courage and faith in the future. Surrender your preconceptions (and your scalp) to the aesthetic choices of these mini-barbers.

The boys from St. Joseph's CBS in Fairview participated in this unique project. It was as simple as it sounded - a ten-year-old child cut your hair, for free.- that's if you were brave enough!!! We asked you to surrender your preconceptions (and your manicured manes!) to the stylish hands of these mini-barbers. A whimsical piece that played with the enfranchisement of children and the level of trust we afford them, creating a dialogue between groups not used to such a reversal of power - especially one in which our vanity is put to the test! 

We would like to thank all of those people who were brave enough to get their locks re -styled! Also a huge thanks to all the boys from St Joseph's and their teachers for enabling this fantastic event go ahead.
