Support Autism-Friendly Mobile Barbershop

Hey, my name is Justin, and I’ve been a barber for over a decade, specializing in cutting hair for kids with autism and special needs. Over the years, I’ve learned that one bad experience in a barbershop can make haircuts a lifelong struggle for a child. That’s why I want to change the way these kids experience their first haircuts.

Imagine being a child who struggles with loud noises, bright lights, and unexpected touches. Now imagine walking into a busy barbershop full of strangers, loud clippers, and unfamiliar routines. For many kids with autism and special needs, this isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s terrifying. And one bad experience can make them fear haircuts for years.

That’s why we’re launching The Hairy Lungs Foundation. Our goal is to renovate a bus into a mobile barbershop designed specifically for kids with autism and special needs. This means a quiet, sensory-friendly space where we can work one-on-one with kids in a way that makes them feel safe and understood. By meeting them where they’re comfortable, we can slowly introduce them to haircuts in a positive way, helping them build confidence before they ever step into a traditional barbershop.

But we can’t do this alone. We need your help to raise $100,000 to buy and renovate the bus, making this vision a reality. Every donation brings us one step closer to giving these kids a positive first haircut experience. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign is just as powerful. Together, we can create a space where every child feels safe, understood, and confident getting a haircut.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and support this mission. Let’s make haircuts a better experience for every child. Donate, share, and help us bring this vision to life!

Thank you in advance
