To celebrate the grand opening of Cowlick Barber at Brooklyn Pride, we will be offering “pay-what-you-can” haircuts on the sidewalk outside the shop (6th st, btwn 5th and 6th ave) Saturday, June 8 from 11a-7p. 100% of proceeds will be going toward Griot Circle.

We are able to celebrate our Pride with rainbow flags and glitter because of the work that our community’s elders did half a century ago. They were told to suffer in silence and instead they stood up and fought for their liberation – and ours. On this 50th anniversary of Stonewall, it is important to honor and support the elders of our community, whose fight often tore them from their families and whose rights didn’t include creating legal families of their own. Let’s make our community an intergenerational family year round and support one another. –
Griot Circle (@griotcircle) is a non-profit organization that supports LGBTQ+ elders of color through activities and advocacy. Let’s give what we can (and look good doing it!) if you’re not able to get a haircut tomorrow, please come by and donate anyway. Any donation over $5 will get you a 50% off coupon for any service at Cowlick.

Happy #pride everyone!
