Katuzian said the goal of Sunday’s event was simple: make kids feel good about themselves as they head back to school.
“We want to put as many smiles on the kids’ faces as we can, you know, get them some haircuts, that way they can look nice and fresh going to school and get them some school supplies,” said Katuzian.
Both owners said they hope to continue the tradition for years to come, giving kids the confidence boost they need each year for the back-to-school season.
