"A haircut gives you confidence, helps you look good on your first day of school, helps (the kids) out a lot," Anthony Freeman, a Buffalo firefighter, said during the event.

Aside from the back-to-school haircuts, organizers of the event said it also provides neighborhood kids the chance to experience positive images in their community.
