YM Hair is a social enterprise under the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong. The project's journey began in 2015 with the Shatin Youth Outreaching Social Work Team, where young volunteers provided free hair-cutting services for the elderly. Having served over 600 seniors, these youths discovered their professional passion through the gratitude and smiles of the community.

Capitalizing on the rising market demand for quick-cut services, YM Hair was officially established in April 2022 at Shek Mun, Shatin, with support from the Home Affairs Department's "Enhancing Self-Reliance Through District Partnership" (ESR) Programme.

We operate on a unique model integrating "Training, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Social Contribution." YM Hair serves as a dream-building platform for youths and low-skilled individuals, providing them with professional certification and stable employment. By delivering high-quality, affordable hair-cutting services to local residents, we bridge the gap between vocational training and market needs. To date, we continue our mission of social inclusion, transforming a simple haircut into a powerful tool for community care and youth empowerment.
