Cutting for Community: Our 2026 Pride Month Cut-A-Thon

At The Cabinet Salon, community has always been at the heart of what we do. For over 16 years, our space has been more than just a salon. It has been a place where creativity, connection, and care come together.

This June, in celebration of Pride Month, we are proud to host our annual Cut-A-Thon. This year, we are honoured to support Friends of Ruby.

Why Friends of Ruby

Friends of Ruby is a Toronto-based organization dedicated to supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth aged 16 to 29 through mental health services, social supports, and housing.

Their approach is rooted in supporting the whole person through mind, body, and community, ensuring that youth feel validated, supported, and empowered in their daily lives.

Through their work, they provide access to free counselling, housing support, and a welcoming drop-in space where youth can connect, access resources, and build community.

From mental health services and case management to transitional housing and everyday essentials like groceries and community programming, their work creates meaningful, tangible support for young people across Toronto.

Supporting this work during Pride Month feels especially meaningful. Pride is a time to celebrate identity, self expression, and community, while also recognizing the importance of ongoing support and advocacy.

What the Cut-A-Thon Means to Us

Our Cut-A-Thon is one of the ways we can give back using what we know best. Hair has always been a form of expression, identity, and confidence. Offering our time behind the chair in support of an organization like Friends of Ruby feels deeply aligned with the values we hold as a team.

It is about showing up for our community in a tangible way.

And it is about using our platform to support something bigger than ourselves.

How It Works

On June 16th,  Alex and Emma will be offering haircuts with all proceeds going directly to Friends of Ruby. Every appointment booked contributes to funding essential programs that support youth in our city.

If you are unable to attend but would still like to support, you can find donate directly here: www.friendsofruby.ca

Whether you are a long-time client or someone new to our space, this is an opportunity to be part of something meaningful while sitting in our chair.
