A social hair salon has opened at the transit centre for evacuees in Pavlohrad. Every Friday, a group of volunteer hairdressers provides free haircuts to people who have left Ukraine’s front-line areas. This was reported by Caritas Ukraine.
Anna Dmytrivna, who evacuated from Kostiantynivka, says she last visited a hairdresser in August. After her home was destroyed, she found herself trapped under the rubble and had to free herself despite having a broken arm and ribs. She left her hometown of Kostiantynivka on foot.
I always wore a bob, not too short. The last time I went to a hairdresser was in August… After that, even washing my hair felt like a luxury.

The initiative is aimed at supporting people who have endured shelling, the loss of their homes and long journeys to safer areas. Volunteers say that the opportunity to have a haircut becomes not only a practical service, but also an important source of emotional support.
