Senior Haircut Options

For many older adults and homebound seniors in Washtenaw County, something as simple as a haircut can become a real challenge. Transportation barriers, health concerns, mobility limitations, and caregiving schedules can make regular salon visits difficult. With Hairstyle Appreciation Day on March 30, we wanted to highlight a variety of local services that bring professional haircuts directly to seniors’ homes. In this post, we’ll explore mobile haircut options available throughout Washtenaw County, as well as low-cost options to help make self-care more accessible.
