Danika O’Leary’s good intentions and actions have been making an impact in her community. Her Haircuts for the Homeless program started as a simple act of kindness and has become a much bigger expression of help. She begins by creating outdoor styling stations in a park in Santa Rosa, CA in Northern California. With the help of local businesses and volunteers, she provides haircuts, food, clothing and personal hygiene products for people impacted by homelessness. The event has even helped with people with resumes and job opportunities. She mentioned though, as the size of the events swell, challenges emerge with the required permits, administrative duties, and the cost of necessary equipment.

Danika wants to share stories and styles with those who need it most – and make sure the people that are in need are able to feel good about themselves, even from a small thing like a haircut.
