Cuts of Love, an event originally scheduled for Nov. 22, has been postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions on gathering implemented during the state’s two-week “pause.”

The event was put together by Austin Erickson, known as AJ the Barber, from Twist of Glam in Hermiston. The plan was to offer free haircuts to homeless residents and others in need.

Erickson said the event is now planned for January 3. He said he plans to hold on to the money raised in an online GoFundMe fundraiser until then and use it to purchase supplies for the event, and donate any leftover funds to the Hermiston Warming Station.
