Remington College-Memphis Campus Offers Complimentary Hair Cuts for Kids
Cuts for Kids event provides complimentary back-to-school hair cuts
Memphis, TN – (July 2009) – With the start of school approaching, parents will soon be spending money on backpacks, notebooks, pencils, clothes and other necessities to get kids ready for the new school year. Thanks to Remington College, there’s one thing they won’t have to pay for – a haircut at Remington College.
Remington College-Memphis Campus is holding an event called Cuts for Kids where children (17 years old and under) can get complimentary haircuts from instructors and students in the Cosmetology program. The Cosmetology program teaches students the art of hair, skin and nail care through traditional classroom instruction and hands-on training in “The Student Salon at Remington”, which allows students to work with real clients.
The event runs from August 17th to August 29th. Parents can make appointments by calling Remington College-Memphis Campus at 901-396-8625 or just walk in. The salon is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
“Times are tough for a lot of families, and getting kids ready for the start of school can cost a lot of money,” said Lori May, Remington College-Memphis Campus President. “Cuts for Kids is a way for us to help parents save some money and help kids look and feel their best.”
Adults who bring a child in for Cuts for Kids will get 50% off select salon services for themselves, including haircuts, styling and nail care. See campus for details.
“It seems like something so small, but something like a haircut can help boost a child’s confidence,” said Dr. May.
Remington College-Memphis Campus is located at 2710 Nonconnah Boulevard in Memphis.
