In need of a fresh look for the school year? You're in luck! Stop by Multicultural Student Services (Cent. 1106) for a quick spruce up by our mobile barber! In collaboration with The Dean of Students, we are pleased to offer free barbering services for UWEC students. Barbers work primarily with clippers to blend, fade, and shave hair. They do not use scissors, thus this is not a service for students with longer hair, unless you are looking to make a drastic change.

We are lucky enough to have two barbers from ClipDart, who are available via appointment or walk-in! Stop by the office to make an appointment or check them out!
