Unstyled. Unkempt. Unruly. As hair salons were shut down in 2020, many people began the year with once-tidy hair and left it with messy manes. And Hairica – an annual fundraiser and hair show aimed at raising money for veterans – took those lockdown looks and made them pretty dang cool at their event on Nov. 13 at The Lismore.

This year, organizers tipped their hats to law enforcement and healthcare workers, with proceeds from the fundraiser going to support Hometown Hero Outdoors, a nonprofit organization that provides military veterans, service members, and law enforcement officers with outdoor opportunities to promote healing and healthy relationships.
