✨ For Pasifika people, our hair is sacred and treasured. Just as a King or Queen wears a crown, so too do our children. ✨

We are honoured to share this event led by
‘Crown Cutz’💈✂️

Five years ago, this Pasifika family moved to Northland with their then four-year-old son, who was born with a special superpower — Autism 💛

From their journey, Crown Cutz was created.

With a heart for our community, their mission is to help remove two of the most common barriers: cost and accessibility, while welcoming our special children into an inviting, understanding, and safe environment.

✨ To our beautiful children with superpowers — this space is for you. Come join us this Saturday.

Please contact Mena for more details.
