THE HAIR PAIR PROJECT

Help RBCF build an online database that uses SMART algorithms to match local barbers and hairstylists with agencies and schools/universities that need grooming services for their target populations. Our goal is to measurably increase the number of barbers and hairstylists participating in making hair care accessible to populations with barriers to regular grooming services

RBCF is partnering with Kendricks Barbershop to remove barriers for Anne Arundel County Public School (AACPS) students seeking to enter the barbering profession. Currently, 34 AACPS students must still be selected to enter their barbering vocational program. Therefore, RBCF & Kendricks will provide waiting list students with the necessary training hours to qualify for their State Board of Barbers examination.
