Hair Cuttery

For only $10, patrons of the Feasterville Hair Cuttery received a wash and hair cut. The catch: all proceeds were donated to The Mark Allen Friedman Foundation in honor of Andrew Laux's father, whose melanoma was discovered by his hair dresser. We thank Andrew for his dedication to our cause.
