Crown Care

Black students at Cal Lutheran often name lack of access to hair care services in the surrounding area as a barrier to their sense of belonging and overall wellbeing. In living our commitment to cultivating a welcoming and inclusive community for all students at Cal Lutheran, the Center for Cultural Engagement & Inclusion is proud to continue our Crown Care program (formerly known as Hair Time), which provides regular barber and braiding services to students at no cost.

How to Request an Appointment

• This program is intended to reduce the gap of adequate haircare services in the area for students with curly and coily hair. As such, we give priority to students with 3a-4c hair types. Those with 1a-2c hair types will be accommodated as space allows. 
• Click the "Request Appointment" button below to submit a Crown Care appointment request. Once we receive more appointments than we can accommodate in a session, we will close the form.

As of 3/5 we only have barber appointments available for 3/7. Click below to submit your request.  Request Appointment
