Cuts for Kids provides free haircuts and community resources to families in need. Mid-State’s involvement at the event is part of the college’s ongoing effort to give its Cosmetology students relevant hands-on experience that effectively prepares them to be industry leaders in the workforce.

“Cuts for Kids events are great opportunities for our Cosmetology program students and instructors to utilize their expertise while providing a needed service to members of our surrounding community,” said Missy Skurzewski-Servant, dean of Mid-State’s General Education & Business programs.
