CUT IT OUT: Standing Up Against Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse is an epidemic that affects millions—but there is help, and there is hope. CUT IT OUT® is a powerful initiative created by the Professional Beauty Association dedicated to mobilizing licensed professionals, students, and everyday individuals to recognize, respond to, and refer those affected by domestic violence. It’s more than a program—it’s a movement to create safer communities across the United States. And Sport Clips Haircuts is proud to be a platinum sponsor of the program.
What Is CUT IT OUT?
CUT IT OUT® is a national program with a clear mission: to fight domestic abuse through education and action. By training people to identify the warning signs of abuse and providing guidance on how to support victims, this initiative empowers communities to break the cycle of violence.
What It Means to You
Whether you're a stylist, student, healthcare provider, or just someone who wants to make a difference, you have the power to help. CUT IT OUT encourages everyone to:
• Get educated on the signs of domestic abuse—both physical and emotional.
• Respond with discretion and empathy if someone confides in you.
• Refer victims to trained professionals and resources who can provide the support they need.
• Reach out for help if you’re experiencing abuse yourself. You are not alone.
In addition to resources and education, CUT IT OUT provides grants for licensed industry professionals who need assistance after escaping domestic abuse.
The Truth About Abuse
There is no excuse for abuse—ever.
No matter what your abuser says, it is not your fault.
You don’t deserve to be mistreated or controlled.
If you or someone you care about is in a harmful relationship, it’s time to talk. Trained advocates are standing by 24/7 to offer support, guidance, and a path to safety.
