Home/Our story

Welcome

We are a group of top hairstylists from all over the globe. Our goal is to help people in all parts of the world, including third world countries, whose citizens can truly benefit from a few kind words and a haircut. Providing these services is not for superficial reasons but to educate individuals about hygiene while simultaneously elevating their spirits. We aim to help people in need who are suffering, to feel just a little bit more cared for and loved.    

As we all have seen, the devastations of hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, and other natural disasters have impacted people. Many are without homes and without access to food and everyday basic needs. Hygiene is a concern for these individuals' health and overall wellness.

We partner with charities, local nonprofit organizations and communities. We ask you to help with any donation. 100% of the funds are used for food, gifts, and supplies for people in need, especially underserved children.

Our Story

Hair4Humanity is a collective of hairstylists and humanitarians that give back to communities by spreading confidence, happiness, and love. This is not about surface beauty, but about proper hygiene and helping individuals to maintain their dignity and feel human.

Alex Budai founded Hair4Humanity in 2016 and assembled the top hairstylists from NYC. This group of stylists is as diverse as the people we serve, representing the U.S., Lebanon, Italy, Hungary, Japan, and Germany. Hair4Humanity is based in New York City.

Over the last 5 years we have provided thousands of haircuts and touched many souls along the way. The Hair4Humanity team has the talent, drive, and compassion to provide people with free haircuts and grooming, along with essentials that help counteract their traumatic situations and experiences while boosting their spirits. A few examples of these efforts include providing haircuts for the homeless in Deak Square, Budapest as well as disaster relief in Puerto Rico following the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. In 2018 Hair4Humanity traveled to Budapest, Hungary and visited schools, foster homes and held a “Selflessness Day” for kids. In 2019 Hair4Humanity provided free haircuts for Las Vegas veterans and we organized free haircuts in all 5 boroughs of New York City at veteran centers, homeless shelters, and schools. Hair4Humanity teams up with local organizations to help out in their various communities. We have brought love, compassion, and haircuts to senior centers, people with disabilities, homes for war veterans, orphanages, and literally onto the streets for homeless individuals in the U.S. as well as internationally. Our goal is to try and help people who are suffering to feel just a little bit more human, more cared for, feel loved and feel heard. Hair4Humanity provides hygiene education and messages the importance of self-care. This is more than just free haircuts- it is about boosting spirits and inspiring others with our actions and with our story of what we do around the world. We aim to teach and inspire people and communicate that it doesn’t matter what you do or where you come from, or how much money you have, or what trauma you may have suffered, you can find help and support.

This is not about superficial beauty, but about proper hygiene and feeling cared for and feeling human. We are proud of this very unique project.
