Movember
What is Movember?
Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become a walking, talking billboards, for our men’s health causes - specifically cancers affecting men.
Men who support Movember, called Mo Bros, start by registering at Movember.com. Mo Bros start Movember 1st clean-shaven, then grow and groom their Mo, for the rest of the month, raising money along the way. Women who support Movember, called Mo Sistas, also start by registering at Movember.com. Mo Sistas champion the Mo by supporting their Mo Bros, organizing events, leading a team and spreading the important message of men’s health.
Where does the money go?
Funds raised through the Movember US campaign go to Movember (Tax ID: 77-0714052) which is a national, not for profit organization with 501(c)(3) registration.
The net funds are committed to programs supporting prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives run by Movember and through our men’s health partners the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation, LIVESTRONG and Movember together ensure that funded programs are world-class and align with our strategic goals.
Join our team here and donate what you can. American Shave Stash Growwers! this will help us raise money for the awareness.

Appointments preferred
Have you ever walked in to a barbershop/salon and can't even find a seat? That is the most frustrating feeling in the world. You feel like screaming at the top of your lungs but that will only make you look like an idiot.
Have you ever wondered if an appointment would be the next best thing for you? Here at American Shave we gladly except walk-ins but appointments are preferred. Here's why. Having a set schedule allows the client to have his time in the chair at the barbers 100% attention. This may seem unfair for non appointment clients but in fact it justifies quality versus quantity.
Appointments lead to a much happier experience and you won't feel rushed or "squeezed" in. The barber or stylist has the ability to prep for a future client in advance allowing him to execute the perfect strategy for the final product. Barbers/stylists work smoother and retain a much better composition knowing who will be sitting in their chair next.
As per the clients expectations, he or she is attended within a reasonable time and the waiting game is to a minimum, if any. Also you will walk into a comfortable waiting area instead of a hostile, congested waiting lounge where everyone is jumping to be taken care of next. Avoid the "I was here first" mumbo jumbo and accommodate yourself with a time slot that works in accordance to your life style.
If your shop doesn't work with appointments, suggest they do. Break down the pro's of having a schedule to work with and how clients appreciate it and In return the shop works more efficiently. In today's hustle and bustle running on time means being able to control your daily commitments, don't let someone else manage your day. Make an appointment!

In July we went over to the Be! Beauty Hot Spot in NYC! We had a blast with host, Stylist Kelly Desario and many celebrity hair gurus like Mario Raimondi and more.
It was great to show people how easy it is to maintain a great look with little time. We sat a few of our friends and styled their hair on the go as well as many random people walking by in the streets on NY.
Kelly's crew Reels Hair Artists put together an amazing presentation with their hot hair models. The crazy up-do's and amazing make up tips where a hit! We showed people that its not hard to look great with little to no time at all.
Kelly also highleted the fact that celebrity stylist should be in the forefront of the industry as well as the celebrities themselves. We stylsit make people look good! "We are the trend setters", Mario Raimondi.

Client Retention
You may know that some clients are more challenging than others. With that said, every client is unique and adds definition to each and every haircut. The challenge is to handle these situations professionally. Sometimes you can’t resolve the problem in one sitting.
When a client arrives to your salon/shop always remember to keep them comfortable and greet them with a smile, good morning, good afternoon, etc. This sets a good portion of the tone for the rest of their experience and visit in the chair. Letting them know you are aware of their presence is a great way for them to sit back and know that you are taking the next step to accommodate them as quickly as possible. If you have a receptionist or host at your salon/shop they can also offer a beverage or any other amnesties you may provide to your clients.
Once you have your client in the chair make sure you are ready to commit to this person 150% while they are in your chair. You can start with making sure they have everything they need to get started. For example, you can ask if they need to utilize the bathroom or if they need a drink or even if you need to hang up their coat or hat. Make sure your client is comfortable and ready to discuss what they want to do.
Having the client in your chair is now an opportunity for you to ask how they have been since the last visit or how the previous hair style worked or didn’t work for them. What products have they been using and what they would like to see different. Once you have established a focal point in what they want to perceive in their hair style you can go on with the next step.
Make sure you have an exact execution plan when tackling the hair style your client has asked you to perform. As you begin to service your client let them know what you are doing and how you’re going make them look great. Let your client know that you are going to get them closer to their goal every time they sit in your chair by allowing you to work on what they envision.
After you have met your client’s goal, make sure you walk them through what you have done. Educate your client and let them know what product they need to maintain their hair style and how important it is to care for their hair. Show them the difference from when they first walked in and how you have improved the way they look. Follow up with a positive remark and how they should book their next appointment to maintain the look you have achieved for them.
Keep in mind that keeping a client happy is not an easy task and that as professional we have to give our clients positive input at all times. Remember that once you have a happy client he or she will keep returning again and again.
