NASHUA – Hair Cuttery salons in Nashua will donate back-to-school haircuts to children in need this August.

From Aug. 1-15, for every child up to age 18 who buys a haircut at any of the Hair Cuttery salons in New England, a free haircut will be donated to an underprivileged child in the community.

"Share-A-Haircut allows us to give back in a way that is simple, but meaningful," said Dennis Ratner, founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. "On the first day of school, everyone deserves to look and feel their best, and our stylists love nothing more than being able to give children in their community a much deserved boost of confidence."

This is the 16th anniversary of the program. Certificates are distributed with the help of more than 100 local government and nonprofit organizations.

To date, the Share- A-Haircut program has reached more than 925,000 children with haircut certificate donations, valued at $16.65 million
