A group of teens has arranged for hundreds of students and homeless people in St. Paul to receive free back-to-school haircuts Monday.

Teens Networking Together frequently puts on events to help those in need. The group has organized hair-cutting events before, but this is the first time it’s been city-wide.

With 20 barbers in five barber shops participating, the group hopes to provide haircuts for at least 700 people, said Lewis Dixon, executive director of Teens Networking Together.

At previous hair-cutting events — those right before Christmas and Easter — only one barber shop participated and served about 100 people each time. This time, the group expanded their requests and other barber shops agreed. When the holidays come around again, the group hopes to get 10 barber shops involved, Dixon said.

In addition to haircuts, each location will also offer free Little Caesars pizza and candy for children.

Students in kindergarten through 12th grade as well as homeless people are welcome to the haircuts.

Times vary by location:

Vip Cutz (912 Arcade Street): 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Quality Cuts Barbershop (1332 S. Robert Street #2): 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Moler Barber School of St. Paul (900 Payne Ave.): 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

All Nations Barbershop and Beauty Salon (1623 University Ave.) 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Westside Haircare Salon (450 S. Robert Street): 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

About 75 teens in 7th through 12th grades participate in Teens Networking Together, which is dedicated to “empowering teenagers for a better tomorrow.”
