Short Back & Sidewalks

Short Back & Sidewalks is a free hair-cutting and grooming service for members of the community who are experiencing homelessness and poverty. We work alongside community service providers across Australia, providing friendly and attentive hair-cutting experiences with some of Australia’s best hairdressers and barbers as our volunteers. Short Back & Sidewalks currently operates in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Our service goes beyond just giving free haircuts; we create meaningful connections through conversations with clients, and create visibility for some of the most marginalised community members in Australia.
