100 Free Haircuts for People in Need This Winter

💛 It’s more than just hair — it’s the care.

NOCO Hair Launches ‘Care with Hair’ Campaign to Support the Bristol Community

This winter, we’re proud to announce our latest Care with Hair initiative — 100 free haircuts for people in need across Bristol.
Between 1 January and 28 February 2026, our team will open the doors of NOCO Hair, Whiteladies Road, to provide complimentary haircuts to local people through our network of ten Bristol charities.

Each of these charities will receive ten vouchers to use however they wish — whether that’s gifting them to someone they support, raffling them to raise funds, or recognising an outstanding volunteer.

It’s our way of giving back to the city that’s supported us since day one.

What Is Care with Hair?

At NOCO Hair, we believe hairdressing is about more than just how you look — it’s about how you feel.
The Care with Hair campaign exists to help people feel confident, cared for, and seen — especially during difficult times.

From someone going through illness or hardship, to a volunteer who’s always putting others first — we want every recipient to walk out of the salon feeling lighter, brighter, and valued.

💬 “It’s more than just hair, it’s the care,” says NOCO Co-Founder, Noel Halligan. “A haircut has the power to change how someone feels. This campaign is about bringing that feeling to people who might not otherwise experience it.”

Why It Matters

The idea for Care with Hair came from a deeply personal experience.
Years ago, NOCO Co-Founder Noel Halligan was invited to give a final haircut to his client, Megan, in hospice care.
That moment changed everything — revealing how powerful touch, connection, and care can be for someone facing hardship.

What began as one act of compassion has grown into a movement, inspiring the team to give back to their community every year.
So far, Care with Hair has raised over £15,000 for Bristol-based charities, given 300+ free haircuts, and supported people going through cancer treatment, hair loss, and recovery.

“When times are hard, it’s easy to focus on numbers and profit,” says Halligan. “But we’ve learned that when you focus on people first, everything else follows.”
