A haircut can change everything.

There’s a saying in meetings that if you hang around the barber shop, you’re going to get a haircut. Charlie the Barber helped make that saying a literal lifesaver by unknowingly creating a safe space for people in recovery, one haircut at a time. Over the years, his Richmond barber shop changed from a place where no one talked about addiction to a place of connection and acceptance, and for that, so many people in recovery say Thanks, Charlie.
