At Wilfrid Laurier University, Self-Care Through Hair brought trusted barbers from Cut Culture into the space to connect with the Laurier football team. The goal wasnโ€™t just to groom, it was to listen.

Barbers shared why they came: because they know the chair is sacred. Itโ€™s a space where men talk about life, pain, purpose and things they donโ€™t say anywhere else. For the players, it was more than a fresh fade. It was a reminder that vulnerability doesnโ€™t make you weak, it makes you real.

This is what Self-Care Through Hair is about: bridging mental health and culture, turning everyday spaces into safe spaces. Because in the barbershop, the conversations that start over a haircut can spark something deeper.
