Stylists at the Hair Hut in Meeker held a grand opening celebration and offered free haircuts for veterans on Memorial Day Monday. Owner Michael Jackson, a Colorado Northwestern Community College cosmetology program graduate, bought the salon in 2022. Jackson said he wanted to provide the free services for local veterans as a way to give back to the community and to focus on those who have given military service to the country.
