For years, Anne Donovan couldn't help but notice the homeless shelters and their clients on her walks through the ByWard Market. "I just felt the power of a haircut can empower people." Donovan approached a few shelters with the idea of buying an old school bus, turning it into a mobile hair salon, and offering free shampoos and haircuts to the homeless and anyone else in need. 'Gave me the courage to actually move ahead'She said staff at homeless shelters told her they try to help clients get job interviews, and that they're not only in need of new clothes, but haircuts, too. "I want to give this little ray of hope to some people, and say, 'You can do it,'" she said.
