Big charity campaign from NOCO Hair Bristol

Bristol Salon Launches ‘Care with Hair’ Campaign, Giving 100 Free Haircuts to People in Need This Winter

Award-winning Bristol salon NOCO Hair has announced the launch of its Care with Hair campaign for 2026. The community-driven initiative will provide 100 free haircuts to people in need across the city between January and February 2026.

Each of the ten partner charities involved will receive ten complimentary haircut vouchers to distribute to individuals they believe deserve a little care – whether that’s a beneficiary, volunteer, or someone simply in need of a confidence boost.

 “It’s more than just hair, it’s the care,” says Noel Halligan, Co-Founder of NOCO Hair.“We believe every haircut has the power to change how someone feels. This campaign is about bringing that feeling to those who might not otherwise experience it, helping people feel seen, valued, and confident again.”

The vouchers can be gifted, raffled, or auctioned by participating charities, and recipients can book their appointment at NOCO Hair on Whiteladies Road anytime between January and the end of February 2026.

Each recipient will be offered the same premium salon experience as any paying client, from consultation and head massage to their finished style,  reinforcing the salon’s belief that care and connection come first.

A Movement Born from a Moment

The Care with Hair movement began after Noel was called to cut the hair of a long-term client, Megan, who was in hospice care. The emotional experience revealed how deeply powerful the connection between hairdresser and client can be, sparking the idea for an initiative built around community, compassion, and human touch.

Since launching, Care with Hair has raised over £15,000 for Bristol-based charities, delivered more than 300 free haircuts, and supported individuals going through cancer treatment, hair loss, and recovery.

 “A haircut can be life-changing,” adds Halligan. “We’ve seen people go from tears to laughter in the space of 30 minutes. It’s not about vanity, it’s about dignity, confidence, and belonging.”
