The atmosphere at Country Cutts is very relaxing; people often come early for their appointments just to chat with the staff. One of the stylists quipped “We’re actually counselors and hair stylists, but we only get paid for the styling part.” Stan Guthrie, the owner and one of many excellent stylists, is well-known for his 
community involvement. He puts on a beautiful Thanksgiving fireworks show in downtown Palmer every year in order to give back to the community. This year it’s slated for November 28, at 7:18 PM.
