Sascha Breuer launched The Kind Cut movement in March 2017.

"I've been a hair stylist for over 25 years and decided I wanted to use my experience to give back to the community. The Kind Cut strives to provide haircuts to people unable to afford otherwise and to those in need, putting a smile on their faces, boosting their esteem and confidence and I've been sharing the impact on Instagram. I hope that more people will use social media to connect with others, instead of showing us a unrealistic, filtered version of life. Let’s use this incredible platform to “shine some light” on those who are not fortunate enough to add a filter to their reality."
