Haircut Town is a pop-up Anarchist haircutting service in Te Whanganui-a-Tara / Wellington.
Kathleen is the hair cutter.
Haircuts are given in exchange for trades.
Haircut Examples + Inspiration:
Philosophy
I mostly started giving haircuts to my queer + gender non-conforming friends who were struggling with sexist barbers + hairdressers.
Increasingly I like to give haircuts for neurodiverse peeps who find the salon experience a sensory nightmare (!!)
I believe that Bad Haircuts are important political statements and should be embraced. I encourage people to do whatever the hell they want with their hair.
I am self-taught but I am also a Virgo so I will do my very best to give you a beautiful shit mullet.
