Kids all over the world react strongly to anyone attempting to change their appearance. For better or worse, positively or negatively, getting a haircut can be a life altering experience, or so it seems until you’re into your upper teens.
Pattaya’s Mercy Center children are no different. Loved, wanted, orphaned, rich, abused, poor, abandoned, misused – it’s all the same when you’re in the chair… like Marmite or Vegemite, you either love it or hate it!

This week, Jutamat Beauty School students went to the Mercy Center’s new “Baan Khong Por” Children’s Home in Pong district of Pattaya. They donated their time and skills to style new hair fashions for all the Mercy Family.
