“Justice Garcia lives in Socorro. She lost all of her hair during chemo, after she was diagnosed with leukemia at 20 months old. After years of growing it back, now she’s cutting it off. Her family took her for a haircut this week in Albuquerque, but it wasn’t just an ordinary trip to the salon.”
“This haircut is a family affair five years in the making for Geraldine Jones and her young daughters, Justice and Bianca Garcia. The three have been growing out their hair for years, cutting around 12 inches off each. It’s a milestone after life-changing news.”
“With each snip of the scissors is a release, leaving the cancer in the past and moving forward with new looks and a new beginning. Jones says it’s a relief to move forward.”
