Free cut and style offered to storm victims in Tuscaloosa

For storm victims who have lost everything, even the little gestures or anything from normal life could help in the recovery. How about something as simple as a haircut and style?

Stylists with X-cell Academy and hair impressions are providing their services free of charge on Tuesday. They are setting up outside the Belk Activity Center Shelter in Tuscaloosa. Stylists will wash, condition and blow dry hair for free.

It is available to storm victims, first responders and volunteers helping in the recovery.

"They walk away with confidence. They walk away feeling beautiful about themselves," said Erin Greggs with Xcell Academy. "I had one guest with us this morning who said she hadn't had a good haircut in over 2 months and that she felt like a new woman and she could conquer anything tomorrow."

The free styling session runs from 10:00 am. To 4:00 p.m. outside the Belk Center in Tuscaloosa.
