Parkes Phoenix

From Mohawks To Moustaches

June 3, 2022 By Maggi Barnard

STYLING FOR CHARITY… Just Cuts stylists with Outback Car Trek drivers and locals at the Metropolitan Hotel Cut-a-Rama last year in West Wyalong.

Bold hairstyles and charity are a popular combination to raise funds for a good cause, and Saturday night brings a great opportunity for Parkes residents to support the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

The annual Just Cuts Cut-a-Rama night is coming to Parkes this year to kick off the Outback Car Trek and raise funds for the RFDS.

Just Cuts Stylists will service trek participants and the public from 7pm at the Coachman Hotel Motel, creating bold styles for the drivers before they begin their seven-day journey.

Driving a wide range of older model vehicles, participants in the Outback Car Trek will depart Parkes on Sunday morning and arrive at Hervey Bay in Qld on 11th June.

Since 1998, Just Cuts clients and stylists have raised over $500,000 for the RFDS through the annual Cut-a-Rama event and donation boxes in over 190 salons Australia-wide.

Just Cuts founder Denis McFadden is looking forward to his 22nd Cut-a-Rama, and is calling on the people of Parkes to join the fun and support the cause.

“From Mohawks to moustaches and grandparents to kids, Just Cuts stylists do it all for the Doctor,” said Denis. 

“People in regional communities can live hours and hours from medical care. The RFDS are the GPs of regional Australia, with a waiting room that spans millions of kilometres.”

Outback Car Trek 2022 route will go from Parkes to Nyngan, White Cliffs, Cameron Corner, Thargomindah, Augathella, Taroom and Hervey Bay.
