About HAVE SHEARS WILL TRAVEL

Have Shears Will Travel is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) hair-care ministry that provides mobile and site-based grooming services to people who are marginalized, medically vulnerable, or lack access to conventional salon services. The organization operates a mobile salon outreach and partners with hospitals, shelters, senior centers, and community agencies to deliver on-site haircuts and personal grooming. In the last 2–3 years the charity expanded programmatic activity to include a workforce-training component for trainees seeking cosmetology-related skills and increased formal grant support from local foundations and community partners. The organization maintains up-to-date tax filings and an active web presence and continues to run recurring community haircut clinics and partnership events across the Houston area.
