Local barber talks about getting ready to do a 24-hour haircut marathon
A local barber is gearing up for another marathon fundraiser. Stacy “Quick” Hardy, known in the community as Quick the Barber, will cut hair for 24 hours straight. Every dollar raised will go toward purchasing bikes for kids in the area. Hardy is the owner of Quick’s Mane Event.
Hardy said he will start cutting hair on Friday, starting at 8 a.m.
He made headlines last November when he held a similar 24-hour event to raise money for Thanksgiving baskets.
