That back-to-school haircut may already be looking a little scruffy. If you can stand to wait until November, your child's next cut could be free. JCPenney announced the promotion in an email to customers. Starting in November, every Sunday is free haircut day for kids from kindergarten to 6th grade.
The company already did a free back-to-school haircuts promotion in August and snipped away locks from more than 1.6 million little heads. The announcement came from JCPenney's CEO, who joined the retailer last year after working for Apple.
This is just part of a new series of initiatives aimed at revamping the company which lost $147 million dollar during the second quarter.
