According to Marketing and Communication executive at FLOW Melissa Veira, a total of 92 boys got haircuts, while 40 girls got hairstyles. Ninety-five persons got free ear and health checks.

Veira said that the event, which ran from 8 a.m., was done for the first time last year. She noted that FLOW partnered with Stylin’ Chic, Tusty Water, Star Distributors and Inava Natural Fruit Juices to make the event possible. All haircuts were done by professional barbers Etchron Prince and Sadique Walker, who both commented that they appreciated the opportunity to give back.

“This is just one of our many give back initiatives and our way of supporting students and education on a whole”, said Veira.

A number of parents who benefitted thanked FLOW, stressing that it helped save time and money.
