The Hairdressers’ Charity is the official industry charity for the hairdressing industry; an independent service dedicated solely to helping hairdressing professionals and ex-hairdressers in their hour of need. With a heritage that dates back to The Hairdressers Orphans Fund in 1853, and more recently HABB, the philosophy has always been to provide financial assistance and support for hairdressers just like you, many of whom had nowhere else to turn. The Hairdressers’ Charity receives more than 300 applications for help each year.
