Charity is always a good thing to show how humane you are. We have seen many ways of fundraising for charity. Now that here is a unique way of fundraising that has turned heads, yes literally heads. Getting a haircut is an expensive thing even for an average employed person. For students, it is a regular drain on their meager finances.
Having someone around the campus willing to give you one in exchange for a donation to charity, is a god send. That is the word-of-mouth success of Hemrajani’s 23Cuts. Hemrajani, Dhruv Patel, and Brian Yeung, started as a fun project and a way to meet people and make friends, are enjoying their non-profit venture from ‘House No. 23″.
Indian techies to head to Canada
Free barber shop is becoming somewhat of a landmark. Just before leaving home to attend his engineering class, Ronit Hemrajani, a senior at Rutgers, got a call from a fellow student for a haircut to look all spruced-up for work. Hemrajani obliged him with a “High Skin Fade”.
The “High Skin Fade” is exactly what it sounds like, the parts where the hair is trimmed too close to the scalp and the skin shows and then fades into longer growth. There’s also just the regular “Skin Fade.”
“My Dad liked to cut his hair almost completely off, so he got clippers and I used to always cut his hair. I also began trying it on my hair,” Hemrajani said in an interview. “I Googled the steps and tried those on my friends during the Summer. They didn’t mind how it came out or if it was ruined because they could always wear a hat,” he said.

“Our main goal is to hold a fundraiser at the end of this month. Sell T-Shirts to raise money as well and donate to a charity,” Hemrajani said. “But it all depends on the school schedule and our free time. School comes first,” said the Indian-American who was born in Queens, N.Y., and grew up in Old Bridge, N.J., since he was 7. Starting a business in not on his horizon right now. “Last week there was a frat party and everyone wanted a haircut,” he said.
“Different people want different things. Sometimes they show us a picture of what they want, and we try.”
