A huge thank you to @kpixtv for coming out and covering our annual Back to School event! ❤️✂️🎒 This year was truly one for the books. We were so grateful to bring our community together for a day filled with free haircuts, food, backpacks, and plenty of smiles as we get our kids ready for the new school year. Giving back to our local community is something we’re incredibly passionate about, and seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces — and the happiness of their families — makes it all worthwhile. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, showed up, and helped make this event possible. And thank you again, @kpixtv, for helping us share what this day is all about. ❤️ We can’t wait for the next one! 🙏✨

Another Back-to-School event in the books! 🎒✂️❤️ A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our annual Back-to-School Giveback such a success! We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who showed up, volunteered, donated, supported, and helped us create a day filled with free backpacks, free haircuts, food, games, music, entertainment, and most importantly—community. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids and families we’re blessed to serve. That’s what this is all about. And a special shoutout to our students! 👏🏽 You continue to put in the work, but more importantly, you continue to show us what we truly value here at The Academy Barber College—using your skills, your time, and your talents to help others. Giving back is part of our reason. It’s part of who we are, what we believe in, and what we love doing at our school. We’re proud to create opportunities for our students to learn the craft, build their careers, and understand the importance of serving and uplifting the community around them. The giveback continues. ❤️ To all the students and families heading into a new school year, we wish you an amazing, successful, and blessed school year ahead! Thank you to everyone who continues to support The Academy Barber College and our mission. We appreciate you more than you know. Until next time! 🎒✂️❤️
