DOWNTOWN WILMINGTON (WWAY) – The Just Cut It barbershop tried something new through their Barbers and Books haircut event. Barbers listened to kids read them books as they cut their hair. Books and Barbers is an initiative that started in Lexington, KY. Now, barbershops across the U.S. are participating in it.

This initiative expands children’s imagination and reading literacy. A Wilmington man named Travis Corpening says when his wife told him about the idea he immediately made plans with the Just Cut It barbershop to pull this event off.”
