Free Haircuts

The Cosmetology SkillsUSA team (Ava Bonner, Samira Paez, Lyuda Chygasova, Kailey Wade, Esther Poshelyuznyy and Emily Linder) at Cascadia Tech will offer free haircuts to anyone diagnosed or getting treatments for cancer. Once a month the salon will be taking appointments or walk-ins. The free service includes a shampoo, haircut, and thermal styling of your choice. Please call 360.604.1080 for more information.


As a team we are hoping to spread a sense of hope and community throughout the city and surrounding areas. You don't need hair to be feminine, you don't need to shave your head to be strong when battling cancer. Our salon will be a safe place for anyone wanting to come in.
