Cut-A-Thon at Mike’s Barbershops Benefits Local Children’s Home

haircut_boy_000003612789MediumMike’s Barbershops third annual Cut-A-Thon, to benefit Sunshine Acres Children’s Home, is set for Sunday, March 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the shop, 5057 E. McKellips Road.

Shop owner Mike Magri and his staff will donate all proceeds from haircuts that day to help the kids. “It’s a wonderful organization, and we want to do whatever we can to help out,” said Mike.

Rev. James and Vera Dingman opened Sunshine Acres, in 1954, at 3405 N. Higley Road, to care for homeless children. According to the website, SunshineAcres.org, the home is entirely donor-supported, and receives no government assistance. No child will be turned away for financial reasons.

Mike is hoping all regular customers, as well as anyone who wants to give a real traditional barbershop a try, will participate in the fund-raising event. “Or people can just drop by and make a donation of money or goods for the children, or for the organization’s retail shops,” he said. “I’ll have my pickup parked outside the shop if anyone wants to donate food, clothing, toys, furniture or whatever will fit in my truck bed.”

Mike’s Barbershops has been serving Mesa for 11 years. He moved to his present shop about four years ago, after being located further west, but still in the city. “I’ve always been involved in activities to help the community,” Mike said.

What makes a barbershop different from a salon? “Cosmetologists and barbers get different kinds of training,” explained Mike, a fourth-generation barber and instructor himself. “Barbers must complete 1,500 hours of training to learn different techniques particular just to cutting men’s hair. They also specialize in men’s services, such as old-fashioned hot-lather, straight razor shaves, trimming eyebrows or shaving around the ears,” he continued. “Shaving around the neck and ears and a shoulder massage, with our handheld power massager, is included with every service.”

Mike also offers current styles, grey hair blending and coloring, head shaving, aromatherapy facial massage and other men’s services, at reasonable prices. “Even if you’re a walk-in client, there’s usually no waiting. We always have at least seven licensed barbers available at all times.”

On his website, www.MikesBarbershops.com, Mike offers coupons worth $2 off selected services. You also can get rewards for services at Bellycard.com. Click on Find Locations, and enter Mike’s Barbershops.
