The mission of Care Cuts is deeply personal. For our founder, a career hairstylist and mother to a child with special needs, the drive to ease the fears associated with a simple hair trim is an extension of her own life’s work.
Early in her career, she discovered the unique challenges faced by clients with severe sensory sensitivities. She learned that for many, the sensation of a haircut can feel as intense as getting a tattoo. This reality hit home when her own son began to struggle with the same sensory demands. Amidst the journey of teaching him to walk, talk, and eat, she realized she had to transform grooming from a traumatic event into a non-threatening routine.
