A back-to-school special at Vatterott College will improve your kids’ look for free, while helping Vatterott students make the grade.

Vatterott’s Salon Cosmetique will offer complimentary haircuts for kids ages 8 to 18.

You’re invited to take advantage of this offer from 9:30am to 2pm on Monday, August 12, at the salon, at 3706 North Belt Highway.

“Back-to-school time can be expensive and busy for everyone, but Vatterott wants to make it a little easier on parents and their wallets,” said Brandon Deets, Campus Director at Vatterott College in St. Joseph. “What’s great is our cosmetology students receive valuable experience while the community benefits from complimentary haircuts.”

Salon Cosmetique provides students with real-life training in Cosmetology while offering clients a soothing salon experience in a professional environment. Cosmetology students gain their experience by completing practice hours in the salon servicing clients from the surrounding community. All work is completed by students under the supervision of licensed instructors.
