Washington, D.C. — This summer, CapeTown DMV will partner with the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) for the 2025 Late Night Hype series — a weekly Friday-night event designed to engage youth, strengthen community, and provide safe, fun, and supervised spaces across the District.
As part of this exciting collaboration, CapeTown DMV will bring free grooming and beauty services — including haircuts, braids, and styling — to selected Late Night Hype sites throughout the summer. This partnership aligns with our mission to build self-esteem within underserved communities by providing free hair and beauty services while creating pathways to employment, entrepreneurship, and licensure.
