Jonesboro, AR – Contributed – Great Clips salons in the Jonesboro area are inviting the community to come together for their second annual Community Give-Back Event, happening February 21–27, alongside the Great Haircut Sale, offering $7.99 haircuts for everyone.

Throughout the weeklong event, Great Clips will show appreciation for the community by providing deeply discounted haircuts for all customers while also partnering with local nonprofit and community organizations to offer free haircuts to individuals they serve.

The salon collected nonprofit organization suggestions from the community on Facebook. Together We FosterCityYouth MinistriesConsolidated Youth Services, and In His Wings Ministry were among the suggestions and selected as this year’s partners.

“Our area has experienced real challenges—from economic strain to difficult weather events—and we know many families are feeling the impact,” said Kristy Beliew, salon owner and Great Clips franchisee. “This event is our way of showing love to our community. Whether it’s offering free haircuts through our nonprofit partners or making haircuts affordable for everyone, we want to help people feel confident, cared for, and supported.”

The Community Give-Back Event builds on the success of last year’s initiative, during which Great Clips donated approximately 75 haircuts to nonprofit partners, including Family Crisis Center, Together We Foster, and The Salvation Army. This year, the goal is to expand the reach and impact even further.

Participating Great Clips locations include:

Customers are encouraged to check in online or via the Great Clips app to view wait times and join the waitlist.
