Free Haircuts for Heroes Event is Set for Sunday in Martins Ferry

To show support for law enforcement, a local hair salon is holding a free haircut day for police officers.

Shannon Young, owner of Forever Young Studio of Hair, 309 S. Fourth St., Martins Ferry, said her salon will offer the free haircuts for officers during the “Haircuts for Heroes” event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday to all officers who come to the salon.

Because of the recent violence against police officers across the country, Young said she wanted local officers to feel appreciated for the good work they do.

“With all of the negativity surrounding law enforcement officers in America right now, I thought they needed some positivity,” Young said. “I have a lot of friends who are officers, and I wanted to show them some appreciation for keeping us safe.”

Riesbeck’s is also donating money for refreshments during the event, Young added.

To receive a free haircut, officers will be asked to show their identification. In addition to Young, stylists who work at Forever Young include Shalyn Joseph, Roseanne Applegarth, Kara Canter and Linda Archer.
