As the first day of school approaches, one local barbershop is helping students head back to class with confidence. Fatheadz Barbershop will host a Back-to-School Free Haircut Giveaway on Sunday, Aug. 9, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., offering 10 children free haircuts ahead of the new school year. In addition to free haircuts, families can also enjoy free pizza and a positive community atmosphere during the event. The giveaway will take place at Fatheadz Barbershop, and organizers encourage families to arrive early since only 10 haircut spots are available.
