Northwest Miami-Dade Students Treated To Free Haircuts

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Students in northwest Miami-Dade were treated to free haircuts ahead of the new school year.

KIPP Miami invited the kids to 305 Kings and Queens Salon, where the first 100 got complimentary cuts.

KIPP is a national nonprofit network of public charter schools. This is the third year they partnered with the salon.

Organizers say it's all about making sure students are taken care of even during summer.
