Great Clips of Newton, 301 Iowa Speedway Drive, encourages Americans to thank veterans in a tangible way, by awarding them a free haircut. It’s part of Great Clips’ Thank a Veteran promotion, and it’s one small gesture with a powerful message of appreciation.
Customers who come in for a haircut at any U.S. Great Clips salon will receive a free haircut card to give to an active, inactive or retired military member of any branch, including the National Guard. Military members can also come in on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, for a free haircut or to pick up a free haircut card to use, with proof of military service.
The free haircut cards are redeemable all the way through the end of 2014. In 2013, the first year of the promotion, Great Clips salons nationwide provided more than 130,000 free haircuts to veterans, and this year, they expect to give away even more.
“Most of us know at least one veteran we would like to thank on that day,” says Great Clips CEO, Rhoda Olsen, who is married to a Vietnam veteran. “We invite everyone to come into a U.S. Great Clips salon on Veterans Day to purchase a service and pick up a free haircut card. To help show appreciation for those who have served or are serving our country, give the card to veterans in your family, or neighborhood or just someone you notice is a veteran. It’s a simple, yet meaningful way for all Americans to say thank you to veterans with the help of Great Clips.”
Limit one card per customer (while supplies last). Must purchase a service to receive card.
