Free Back-to-School Haircuts at JCPenney

Retail Giant J.C. Penney Is Helping Parents Ease Back to School

Back to School time can get expensive for parents. New shoes, new clothes/uniforms, school supplies -- it all adds up and can gaugue any family -- especially those with more than a couple of kids.

To help ease the burden a bit (and, no doubt, drum up some great free press like this) J.C. Penney is offering FREE back-to-school haircuts!

That's right, throughout the entire month of August, every JCPenney that has a salon in the store, is offering a free haircut to any child entering kindergarten through sixth grade!

"The back-to-school season presents the perfect opportunity to offer free haircuts for kids and unveil our new Shops, giving customers a first glimpse of what will soon be an entirely new retail experience," said Ron Johnson, chief executive officer of JCPenney. "We know how important it is for kids to make a great first impression and with low prices every day, JCPenney is making it easier for parents to shop without having to wait for a sale."
