Cut-A-Thon by a Blonde 2024 is happening for its 5th year inside Sweet Dreams Event Center at 822 N Alamo St, San Antonio, TX 78215, on February 25, 2024, from 12-5 pm.
This “give back” event aims to provide monetary support in the beauty and barber industry for those who otherwise would not have the financial means to fulfill their educational goals.
The idea came up by Founder Atalaya Figueroa in 2019 with the idea of doing some haircuts for donations to help someone financially through beauty school back in 2020. “I realized how far my license had taken me in my hardest moments. Having this license enabled me to care for my family no matter how hard times got. I wanted to give that gift to someone trying to make a difference in their life. When I put out the word that I was doing this, I got a great response and named it Cut A Thon”, says Figueroa.
Atalaya Figueroa, Founder of Cut-A-Thon by a Blonde
Atalaya Figueroa has been in the beauty industry for over 16 years and owns the “Hair by a Blonde” salon. She has always wanted to give back to her community. Figueroa and other beauty industry professionals joined forces in the past three years and raised over $10,000. Her goal is to turn Cut A Thon into a 5013c nonprofit organization and provide multiple scholarships to students annually.
Cut-A-Thon by a Blonde’s growth has blossomed into more than 25 vendors, DJs, special guests, and 5-6 hairstylists and barbers performing haircuts for donations contributing to student scholarships.
