Odessa College’s Cosmetology Department is thrilled to announce a partnership with the Odessa College Food Pantry to host “Haircuts & Hairstyles for the Holidays.”
From Nov. 5 through Dec. 5, the community is invited to support the OC Food Pantry by bringing non-perishable food items in exchange for haircuts, hair styling, manicures, or pedicures. Both men’s and women’s cuts will be available, as well as additional services — all conducted by students who are supervised by a trained and licensed instructor.
In place of traditional payment, clients are encouraged to bring two non-perishable food items per service for haircuts, hairstyles, manicures, or pedicures. Those interested in chemical treatments, such as perms, hair coloring, or acrylic nails, can receive a 20% discount by contributing two food items per service. Services are available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Items needed:
- Loaves of bread
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Cookie butter
- Cereal
- Ramen cups
- Pop-Tarts
- Breakfast bars
- Chips
- Pretzels
- Goldfish
- Nutella and Go (with sticks)
- Fruit cups
This initiative allows Odessa College Cosmetology students to give back while honing their skills under the close supervision of licensed instructors.
