Free haircuts for Vets!

Glen Dow Academy appreciates the men and women serving in the armed forces – and there are A LOT of them living in and around Spokane! To say “thank you”, we are offering free haircuts to those who have served – or are currently serving – in any branch of the military.

Veterans who show their military ID on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays can get their hair cut at no charge. This applies both to scheduled appointments and walk-ins.

Thank you, veterans, for serving our country with such honor and bravery! Your dedication to our country is invaluable and appreciated!
