JACKSON, Tenn. — To help with the expenses that come with back-to-school season, a local official is hosting a free haircut and hairstyle event. City Councilman Ernest Brooks II is hosting the fifth annual “Cuts and Stylze” program, which offers free haircuts for boys and hairstyles for girls, according to a release from the city. “I want our youth to look good on the outside, feel good on the inside, ready to strive for academic excellence,” Councilman Brooks states in the release.
