No. There isn't a back-to-school fairy to deliver your school supplies right to your doorstep or give you a sleek, new laptop, but Great Clips can make it happen. The world's largest hair salon brand with salons in our area has launched two great back-to-school contests that could win a local family some amazing prizes.

1)School Supply Give away - Great Clips takes the headache out of school supply shopping by awarding 50 lucky families a big box of back-to-school supplies right on their doorsteps.  To enter, upload your specific school supply list to http://www.thegreatlist.com. Great Clips will shop for your list and deliver it right to your door! 50 families will win a box of school supplies worth no more than $150.

2) Apple Give away - An apple isn't just for teacher. In one contest, Great Clips will award some $50 thousand dollars worth of Apple products to students, including $1200 MacBook Air® laptops and $200 Beats® studio headphones.  To enter text "PRIZE" to 47328 or go on line to www.greatclips.com
