In response to L.A.'s still-raging wildfires, hairstylists and barbers are offering free hair services to affected Angelenos.
Angie Martin was the first client to arrive on Sunday morning at Pasadena City College, where a group of hairstylists and barbers were providing free hair services for people affected by the Eaton fire. After fleeing her Altadena home on the evening of Jan. 7, getting her hair done wasn't top of mind, but then she learned about the two-day 'Dena Strong' hair event on the news. “I started thinking, ‘Oh, my God. How wonderful.
After both of her parents’ Altadena homes were destroyed in the Eaton fire and multiple other family members were displaced, salon owner Jazmyn Hobdy was searching for ways she could help affected Angelenos like herself. Then one of her former classmates reached out to her about hosting a free hair event at her Glendale salon in collaboration with Cécred. “Right now, working is actually the one thing that feels normal,” said Hobdy, 32, whose family has lived in Altadena since the 1970s.
