Eight salons on Main Street are taking part in a "cut-a-thon" from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. An event organizer said appointments are not necessary.
Participating salons are: Studio One, Even More Salon, Sunset Boulevard, Christine's Salon, Salon Panache, Essentials Salon, Savoir-Faire Salon and Upstairs Downstairs Salon.
Eight people were killed when a gunman opened fire at Salon Meritage Oct. 12. The accused shooter, Scott Dekraai, was allegedly tangled in a custody dispute with his ex-wife, who worked at the salon.
Dekraai, who has been charged with murder, is slated to appear in court for arraignment in November.
