How

For partners with many individuals needing haircuts, we bring our mobile salon. It is a 36-foot motorhome that has been converted into a salon with two hair-cutting stations and a wash sink.

When agency partners don’t have a high need, don’t have space, or when our clients are in hospice, our stylists arrive and set up in the location they are serving that day.

Shear Success Barber and Cosmetology School will open in late summer 2024 at 1212 Roberts, one block from the metro stop. Once open, clients of our partner agencies will be able to receive services at the school with a voucher.

Testimonials

Excellent

“Well, I got the best haircut (from Have Shears Will Travel) for free and did not have to travel. Seriously, the stylist was very attentive to my desires and the quality was superb. She’s on my calendar.” 

Billy R. Jenkins – SEARCH resident

Highly Recommended

“It was freaking awesome! The two stylists were so amazing; they were above and beyond more than what I and the kids expected. Most of these kids have not had a haircut in 10 – 12 months, and none of them had ever received a makeover.” 

David Layfield – Nexus Children’s Hospitals

Outstanding client feedback

“Thanks to Arron, Ms. O and Ms. Daphne for coming out to Young Elementary and doing Back to School haircuts. They were so professional, and right away they felt like Family. My 11-year-old Son got a haircut that he can’t stop talking about. Thank you, Ms. O. You are the best and have made his day. We love this organization and what you all stand for. My son said he wished Google had a 10-star rating. 

Andrea Hernandez – Happy Parent at Young Elementary School

FAQ

Have Questions?


Simply contact our team and provide us with your agency information. We will set up a time to meet and discuss your agency’s needs and our availability.

HSWT partners with over 40 human services agencies and hospice organizations in Houston and surrounding areas. If you receive services from one of these agencies, you are eligible and can speak to your agency staff for details. Please visit the “Who We Serve” page for a list of partner agencies. Due to extremely high demand and concern for the safety of our staff, we are limited in our ability to travel to private homes. If you are a client of a hospice organization or church member, you may have your agency or church contact us for service.

If you have a loved one in hospice care or a hospital, or if your loved one is a church member, you may have the hospice agency, hospital, or church contact us for service. For the safety of our staff, we prefer to work through an organization that can vouch for the client’s needs. Please be aware that we are limited in the distance our stylists can reasonably travel.

If you are a client at one of our partner agencies and can travel on your own, you may receive a voucher from your agency to get your hair cut at Shear Success Barber and Cosmetology Training Academy. The school salon will open in the late summer of 2024.

You can walk in to receive a haircut in three locations: Emergency Aid Coalition, Lord of the Streets, and St. Joseph’s House. Please keep in mind that availability is first come, first served. Our stylists are usually able to accommodate everyone; however, we cannot guarantee service depending on the number of people who show up. Please view our calendar page for dates and times we visit walk-in locations.

Wonderful! People like you who believe in our mission keep us providing dignity and confidence to those who need it most. Please visit our giving page to provide monetary support through a one-time or recurring donation, or visit our volunteer page to come help us out in person.
