Mayor Matt Pacifico and city officials invited students to Altoona Beauty School on Tuesday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a free haircut. They said they’re hoping for a great turnout.

The city teamed with the Altoona Beauty School, The PLW SR Memorial Foundation, and Kaitlyn Tomlinson of First Commonwealth Mortgage to launch this new initiative.

On Sunday, Aug. 11, a similar event took place in Johnstown where non-profits and a local BBQ restaurant teamed up to offer free haircuts, backpacks, and lunch.
