Lady Jane's Haircuts for Men Breaks World Record, Launches Metro Detroit Foundation

To launch its new foundation, Wicked Awesome Wishes, Lady Jane’s Haircuts for Men is hosting a world record event on August 23rd, to break the world record for the most haircuts in 12 hours by a group of ten stylists as well as the individual record for most haircuts by an individual stylist in 12 hours. The event will run from 8 am – 8 pm at Lady Jane’s headquarters in Troy (3921 Rochester Rd).

The current Guinness World Record for most haircuts in 12 hours by a group of ten stylists is 392. To be guaranteed a spot in this world record event, please call Lady Jane’s Haircuts for Men’s headquarters (248-689-0997) to book your appointment and time slot. Lady Jane’s will be booking a limited amount of haircut appointments per hour to break the world record. All haircuts will be free and 100% of the proceeds and donations will go directly to Wicked Awesome Wishes and into the hands that need them.

The Wicked Awesome Wishes Foundation will allow children, families and/or organizations in need to request money or grants from Lady Jane’s for specific needs. Whether this be granting a wish to a child that wants to attend a Detroit Lions game or helping pay a medical bill, owner and founder of Lady Jane’s, Chad Johnson, wants to be there to help.  At the end of the year, Johnson and his board will be able to review the needs of anyone that has reached out to them and help accordingly.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone out at this world record event and granting as many Wicked Awesome Wishes as possible.”
