 We held our first annual TASB Cut-A-Thon for autism in 2011 with a total of 6 salons and 1 barbershop. Since then hundreds have joined our movement from across the states. We have extended our festivities from what use to be 24 hours, to a 6 week booking period. This way all our clients can be a part of our festivities. Whether it’s a customer appreciation event by giving one or several haircuts to autism, or showcasing our amazing autism awareness display, we invite you to join us this year.

VOLUNTEER

Join our annual TASB Cut-A-Thon for Autism. 

An elite group of stylists/barbers from across the states volunteer their professional time and talent to raise funds for autism-related causes-and in doing so bring awareness to this condition. Our kick-off is held the weekend before Labor Day,  August 24,  (Opening Celebrations). We will continue our festivities through October 6 (Closing Celebrations). All your clients can give their support during this 6week booking period.

Help your Client!

Choose your honorary client(s)/family that you personally know in need. They will receive 50% of the funds you raise from your autism awareness display/festivities. Your unique display can be entered in our competition. Judges, (a panel of autistic children) will choose 3 favorites. Prize winning awards will go to your honorary client. My friends, we are stronger in numbers!  We invite you to join our movement and represent your community.

Keep it simple!

You can help a client you know on the autism spectrum or in need! TASB will give you autism themed items and  lottery tickets ($40). Raise awareness for your honorary client by creating an autism awareness display. We encourage you to display you’re autism items in an area where all your clients can check it out. Ask your clients to support your honorary client with a donation and let them know they have a chance to win ALL lottery tickets ($40). Your honorary client will receive 50% of your proceeds. The remaining 50% will go to autism organizations and to keep TASB thriving.

Blades Salon Haubstadt, Indiana created a spectacular

autism awareness display on a mirror for their clients to support the cause.

 

Jazz it Up!

Create a customer appreciation party! TASB can help you with silent auction items and  gift baskets. Choose to give styling services. Gift cards from neighboring businesses are great give-a-way items too. Serve snacks! Many volunteers give one or several haircuts to the cause. Donate all or half of your proceeds from your hair cuts to autism.  Stylists/Barbers who would like to build their clientele can offer their time and talent by giving  discounted prices to clients. These are just a few great ideas that TASB Volunteers do. You can choose your special date and what works for you during our TASB Cut-A-Thon for Autism!

Samantha Dault , owner of Pig Tails Salon, Ft. Meyers Florida,

invited several colleagues from different locations to join her TASB Cut-A-Thon event.

Silent auction, food, games and fun was created for autism awareness festivities.

 

 

Excitement is in the HAIR!

Letty Balderas Salon owner of Salon 84, LaBelle Fl. teamed up with their VFW, and several neighboring stylists & barbers. Together they raised $600. A $300 gift card went to their honorary client. Check out their festivities, click video.

Many times I have been told individuals who are on the autism spectrum are not to be singled out. All individuals with special needs want to be treated just like everyone else. It is our upmost importance that TASB grants these wishes. We will continue to give Recognition with Style to clients with many different causes dear to our hearts as well as those on the autism spectrum. Don’t hesitate to contact each stylist/barber for their complete heart felt story by clicking on the salon/barbershop posted with each photo.

How our TASB Cut-a-Thon Works!

Posted on: July 20th, 2016 by Elaine Lord No Comments

 Check out what TASB Volunteers have done for their Cut-A-Thon from the past 5 years. (Before our autism awareness display competition). If you come up with a cool idea, please share!

1. How TASB Volunteers gave a cut to Autism.

• TASB autism items are placed in a basket on my station for clients to give a donation starting the last week in August. A minimum donation of $1 for one ticket or $3 for 5tickets).

• When I receive my packet, I hang up my banner so people will see it from outside. I set out my TASB autism items  out so clients see and know I am creating autism awareness. I give everyone who makes a donation a TASB item. A person walking by saw the banner and gave a donation of $100.

• My clients have help me in special ways, I have the ability to help back. Throughout one week of the Cut-A-Thon I book these special clients for my last appointments. They will receive 50% off their haircut and $10 will go to the cause. I feel good to have given my time and talent to our Cut-A-Thon.

• I give the earnings from my first Client, each Saturday, during our TASB Cut-a-Thon.

• I tell all my clients who are booked for Saturday that 50% of proceeds from hair services go to our TASB Cut-a-thon.

• We have our customer appreciation day during our TASB Cut-a-Thon on Saturday, 9-2. Our clients receive a 50% discount at that time.  Stylists pre-book, others who are building a clientele take new and walk-in clients.

• We stay open on Saturday for an extra 3 hours. (Theme, Happy Hour)  We will give 50% of the proceeds to our honorary client. We raise autism awareness by celebrating, going out and getting donations by telling everyone about autism awareness lottery ticket drawings.

• During the month of August, we tell our clients we are donating a dollar of our tip money to the cause. Clients tend to give more money to the cause when we explain what we are doing.

2. TASB “Festivities”

• Throughout the month of August we pass out fliers, display silent auction/drawing items and let our clients know we are giving 50% off haircuts on the last Sunday of the month between 1-6. We ask  businesses in our shopping center, our sales representatives and clients for donations and support. We use items from hair shows, products from our shelves, lottery tickets and TASB items to make baskets. We invite colleagues from other salons/shops to join us. Music, food and games are offered.

• Karaoke, Bands and DJ, dancing throughout the event.
Venders come to support the cause,  BBQ. Food donations; grocery stores/restaurants (Schnucks, Panera Bread, Publix, Kroger) donate bakery food.

• Trivia, let’s make a deal, tug a war, relay races, winners receive a TASB or donated item. Bounce house, face painting, crafts. We post our goal for the year, every $100 that is raised we ring a bell and cheer till we reach our goal!

• We recognize our honorary guest who is on the autism spectrum each year. We light a candle on a cupcake and everyone shares uplifting wishes

• We have a 24-hour Cut-a-Thon, 6:00, pm Saturday- 6:00 pm Sunday, volunteers swap the shift of volunteers at midnight. Lot’s of food for everyone and we have Autism organization  guests visit. We pre-book clients and take walk-ins. 50% off cuts are given.

Taylor Duncan At the age of 4, I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Through the years of childhood, teenage years, and even onward into adulthood, I faced a lot of preconceived ideas due to the perception of what one with a difference may and may not become capable of.  After various experiences in baseball and softball, I went on to form Alternative Baseball.

Mark’s Story

Mark has always been an interesting kid ever since he was little. I have always known Mark was different, he didn’t talk until he was 3 and when I questioned his pediatrician about it she said it was likely due to all his ear infections. He continued to develop more slowly than other children his age both with his motor skills and socially. Mark is a very loving, happy, kid that enjoyed playing outside, but often by himself and didn’t play much with others, he preferred to play with his dogs. In 2015 Mark was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and ODD. He was given multiple medications to help with his ADHD and none of them worked for him and he grew excessively more aggressive, and mean and angry as the months went by. On April 20, 2016, my very sweet, happy, kind hearted child did something no child should ever do. He tried to cut his own throat open and kill himself with a pair of scissors. Thankfully the attempt was unsuccessful but we spent 5 days in an ER waiting for a childrens facility willing to take him. Mark on April 24th Mark was then transported to a children’s facility in Savannah Georgia and had to remain there for 5 days before he was allowed to come home. They tried to give him another form of medication to calm him down but this medicine made his anxiety so much worse. Then I finally decided to have a new pediatrician evaluate him and she suggested that we get an evaluation done. I went and filled out all the paper work and Mark had his evaluation on June 14th, a week later I was given the results and he was diagnosed with Autism. I was so relieved because now I knew there was something else I could do to help him and I could get my sweet boy back. We started ABA with Spectrum Behavioral Associates in August of 2016 and Mark has made so many huge improvements that I am in awe of his progress. I am starting to see bits of my sweet boy coming back to me. I am so thankful for all the hard work of the therapist that provide him services and this wouldn’t be possible for us as a family without this scholarship because insurance companies still do not understand how important these therapies are for children on the spectrum. We couldn’t go out to dinner as a family and now we can, we couldn’t let him go back to regular public school and now he has a modified schedule and is able to interact with his peers. This therapy means everything to my family and I am so thankful for the scholarship we have received to help with the cost of that.

Problems of the Present / Promise of his Presence

Posted on: November 21st, 2015 by Elaine Lord No Comments

There is always another side of the Christmas season!

You might know a client who has lost a loved one or is apart from each other during their first christmas. Is someone you know going through a divorce or a failed relationship, being alone, wrestling with difficulties. Fighting an illness, lost a job or dealing with an unwanted career change. Maybe just staying above water or trying to making ends meet. Someone you know could be coming home at night with anxiety and terrified about the upcoming holiday season.

TASB Volunteers, lets be together for this holiday season and pray for the people that do not feel the peace on earth or the spirit of Christmas!

If you or a special client needs an extra measure of God in their life during the holiday season, here are a few magical ideas that can show someone your loved this Christmas!

1. Take some stuffed animals to the nearest women’s shelter.  There are always women with small children in the shelter and these stuffed animals can help make the transition less frightening for them.

2. Deliver cookies to your local fire or police station.  Thank them for their efforts to keep you and your neighbors safe.  There are always some on duty during every holiday!

3. Spend some time visiting with an elderly neighbor.  Many older people don’t get many visitors, even though they often have fascinating life stories to share!

4. Buy coffee, tea or cocoa for a stranger in the line behind you.

5. Call someone whom you know has experienced a loss this year and tell them you’re praying for them.  Then pray with them, if you’re comfortable doing that.

6. Send an anonymous encouraging note to five people.  Include pictures, poems, and/or scripture.

7. Play secret Santa at your office.  Deliver a tiny gift to an unsuspecting co-worker and don’t get caught!

8. Volunteer to serve a meal at a local soup kitchen, deliver food for Meals-on-Wheels, or take a bag of groceries to someone you know  that needs them.

9. Offer to babysit for a friend.  Trust me.  Whether it’s a new mom who needs some “me” time, a single dad who needs to finish Christmas shopping, or a couple with tweens who need a night out.  You will be blessing your friend’s socks off.

10. Share a healthy breakfast with your church staff.  They work so hard all year to serve the congregation and community — it’s a wonderful time to serve them.

Are you doing something special for a family in need this Christmas?

The Association of Stylists and Barbers would like you to share your special gift of giving with other TASB volunteers across the states. Email or private message what your salon/barbershop is doing during  the Christmas Holiday and your story could make our “Joy of Giving” section in our next issue of Recognition with Style magazine. Don’t forget the photos to go with your story.

Unity in the Beauty Community

Posted on: July 20th, 2015 by Elaine Lord No Comments

How awesome it is to see how TASB is growing across the country and along the way meeting others with the same desire, to help our communities! SeveralTASB volunteers hung out during the Juneteenth festivities in Atlanta. We were creating awareness for our TASB Cut-a-Thon for Autism, August 29 & 30 and that we did!! Dawn King and I met the media crew for the festival. Among them was a very talented lady, Valerie Fletcher. She knows a group of stylists and barbers that have an organization similar to ours, they are located in Vancouver Washington. Well with todays tech stuff and her savvy talent she had to get us connected. I was heading to the Las Vegas hair show the next week and was so excited to be able to connect in person with Derek and Regina Thompason, founders of Hands of Favor whose purpose is to build relationships which in turn allow us to hear the stories of those we serve, and from there we can utilize the resources of our Friends and Partners to connect the people with the necessary services that will help them get their lives back on track to become responsible, productive members of their respective communities with a desire to pay it forward. Thus, everyone benefits perpetually.
To meet our colleagues who use there time and talent for “Doing Good” in their community is powerful. I can’t wait to see what takes place in our future as TASB and Hands of Favor join forces. Our stories will be told as we keep readers informed through our social media sites including Facebook, blogs, and in our upcoming issue of Recognition with Style magazine, We Cut For Good!!

Hairoics Salon & Spa support community.

Posted on: July 11th, 2015 by Elaine Lord No Comments

Salons and barbershops are the heart of the community. I enjoy finding out what kind of community out reach goes on throughout the states and bring everybody’s ideas to our community.

Hairoics is a locally owned and operated business unlike many others. Hairoics believes in giving back to the community. They take part in events such as,
Get Pumped for Pink 10K race to raise funds for breast cancer awareness.
Go Pink for the Cure wherein they gave donors of a $15 contribution towards breast cancer research a pink hair extension.
OBX Hospital Cancer Resource Center’s Look Good…Feel Better Program.
And of course, local area schools can always count on Hairoics for their support throughout the school year.

In addition to local programs, Hairoics also supports national charities such as Relay for Life, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the American Cancer Society.

We all care about the community we serve, Let’s get involved and make a difference in our neighbors lives.

Ideas for a Salon/Barbershop Cut-a-Thon

A Cut-a-Thon enhances your salon’s standing in the community, attracts new customers and promotes your business. Stylists and Barbers are the heart of the community. We love giving back and making a difference in the lives of people. What better way by using our professional skills. Check out how to transform a basic Cut-a-Thon into a “buzz-generating” extravaganza. Hosting a Cut-a-thon and joining forces with colleagues from all corners of the world turns an ordinary cut-a-thon into an extrordinary Hair Raising event!! Join forces with The Association of Stylists and Barbers for our annual TASB Cut-a-thon for Autism the weekend before Labor Day and represent your community by making a change for the better while having a good time.

Tips for Successful Haircuts

Posted on: July 11th, 2015 by Elaine Lord No Comments

Any stylist or barber who has given haircuts to children or adults with autism know what a challenge it can be. Many may avoid people with autism and that creates a challenge for parents and loved ones when it comes time for a needed haircut or style.
Autism Speaks has teamed up with some caring folks in New England and created “The Hair Cutting Training Guide” TASB volunteers to inform you with techniques and hints on how to make a possible difficult situation go much smoother.
There are many organizations out there that raise awareness about autism and stylist and barbers can take part in this by joining forces with TASB (The Association of Stylists and Barbers).

Our First Bacon Monday

TASB is getting off to an incredible start for this year’s 5th annual TASB Cut-A-Thon for Autism. Our first annual “Bacon Monday” meetup and live stream, open to all stylists and barbers, was a fantastic success. We got pumped up and shared many wonderful ideas for fundraising. We all want to work together so everyone has an amazing event taking place in their own community. Let’s show the world how Stylists and Barbers can make heads turn!
