The Cuts at Bluffton opens for students

BLUFFTON — The Cuts at Bluffton is now open at Bullfton University. The new campus hair salon/barbershop is located in the Multicultural Student Development Center adjacent to Hirschy Annex. Bluffton students make appointments during the week for hair services which are provided from noon-6 p.m. on Sundays. Services are provided by barbers and stylists from Fresh N Faded in Lima. They include cuts, shampooing, line ups, color, conditioning treatments, two-strand twists and retwists, braids and more.

Tyson Goings, director of diversity, equity and inclusion, worked with Fresh N Faded to ensure the space was set up properly and had all necessary equipment.

In a press release, Goings said, “We are really excited to be offering this service right on campus. We talk a lot about having a sense of belonging at Bluffton. This new venture allows students to get the hairstyle they want within an easy walking distance,” said Goings. “Students can present themselves in a manner they are comfortable with and maybe not have to wait until winter break to return home or to trust someone who isn’t licensed to do their hair.”

An effort of the diversity, equity and inclusion committee at Bluffton University, The Cuts at Bluffton was made possible by a generous gift from the racial justice ministry at First Mennonite Church in Bluffton, Ohio.
