Loved getting my hair cut for free on Veterans Day! The woman was so awesome to talk with and we ended up finding that I had served on the same ship her husband was on at the same time. “Small Navy!”
Anyhow. I really appreciate Great Clips supporting Active Duty, Reservists, and Veterans with a free haircut for Veterans Day. It really brightened my day up.
Thank you!
