Speak Up: Weekly volunteer stylists keep students trimmed

Posted

Tucked away in the back of a small gym at Central Middle School, there is some magic happening. It is a spot where students can gain self-confidence by getting free haircuts from volunteer barbers and hairstylists each Monday. The roots for the Central Middle Hair Studio were a brainstorm between Natalie Way, site coordinator for the school’s Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center, and teacher Ioma Gray.
