'She Tried': Boy With Uneven Haircut From Mom Wins Year Of Cuts At Somerville Barbershop
SOMERVILLE (CBS) -- There's been a lot of choppy home haircuts as the coronavirus pandemic kept people away from professional hair stylists and barbers for months. And a Belmont boy has now won a free year of haircuts thanks to his mom's shaky attempt with the scissors.
"At least she tried," says an Instagram post from Somerville's Str8 Edge Barbershop, which will be providing 8-year-old Jack Goodman with free twice-monthly haircuts for a year. Jack won the contest sponsored by Cambridge law firm Altman & Atlman LLP that looked for the funniest "quarantine hair."
Mom Kim Goodman submitted the photo of Jack.
"I did this to my son! Professional help for the next year would be gratefully appreciated," she wrote.
Somerville barber shops and hair salons were allowed to reopen on Monday.
