R&R Head Labs
At R&R Head Labs, you get more than a haircut—you join a movement. Our justice-impacted barbers are uniquely skilled to cut all hair types and textures, thanks to their lived experience. Every cut helps rebuild a life and uplift our community.
R&R Head Labs is an employment social enterprise barbershop that provides high-quality haircuts while creating career pathways for justice-impacted individuals and returning community members.
The shop combines professional barber services with fair chance hiring, offering opportunities for talented barbers who developed their skills while incarcerated or navigating reentry. Through purposeful employment and supportive community, R&R Head Labs helps individuals rebuild confidence, earn income, and pursue long-term careers in the barbering industry.
Every haircut supports the broader mission of expanding second chances and demonstrating the power of meaningful work to restore dignity and opportunity.
