MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – This Veterans Day, communities around the Upper Peninsula are sharing their gratitude for the sacrifices made by local sevice members.
At NMU’s Cosmetology Department, past and present service members were given a special offer of free manicures, pedicures and haircuts, as well as cake and coffee. The department says the experience is important for training its students into their careers, all while giving back to their community.
“We just like to say thank you for those who have done so much for our country, and give everybody who may not be able to afford to treat themselves a chance to do so,” said Instructor Montana Lotterman. “It gets new people into the salon, and it gets our students the experience they need after graduation into the real world.”
In case you missed the chance this Wednesday, the cosmetology department always offers veterans free haircuts Mondays through Thursdays. Appointments can be made by calling 906-227-2383.
