Mike’s Barbershops Cut-A-Thon helps local kids

haircut_boy_000003612789MediumA daylong Cut-A-Thon at Mike’s Barbershops raised $1,132 for Sunshine Acres Children’s Home.

The third year of the fund-raising event, all 10 of Mike’s haircutting crew participated and did about 100 haircuts, donating all the proceeds to the cause. “We enjoy giving back to the community,” said owner Mike Magri. “We support Sunshine Acres Children’s Home, and also sponsor Red Mountain football and Little League.”

Mike’s Barbershops, at the corner of Higley and McKellips roads, is a traditional barbershop. “The barbershop experience is a great tradition to carry down through the generations,” Mike stated. “It’s a good way to introduce a young boy to a barbershop, and make it a father and son experience by coming in together.”

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 pertaining 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. “A shoulder massage, with our hand-held power massager, is included with every service.”

Mike offers $2 off coupons on his Web site, MikesBarbershops.com. You also can get rewards for his services at Bellycard.com. Click on find locations, and enter Mike’s Barbershops.

For more information about making a donation, for services and prices, or to make an appointment, call (480) 218-5964. You also can visit www.MikesBarbershops.com.
