This year TASB is fundraising for The Make a Wish Foundation. Get ready for a hair show that will lift everyone’s spirits. We will also create awareness for the Look Good Feel Better Program and Dress for Success. Stay tuned for all the details as Stylists and Barbers come together to make a change for the better. Stylists & Barbers tell your friends to join TASB volunteers as we gear up for an amazing event.

The Possibilities are Endless!

Since the inception of TASB in 2008, so many people and I have watched TASB blossom into what it is today. I am a hairstylist of 25+ years who started out with a dream of creating a hairstyling book. With wonderful clients who have become such dear friends and my family helping me along the way, TASB has been created and is here to stay. I have also made many friends in our hair styling industry. You might go to hair shows where you see so many colleagues but TASB really brings stylists & barbers together. I can’t describe whats happening with TASB, It’s like magic, and the great part about it is TASB can come to you wherever you are. Just get several stylists and barbers in your community to come together and make a change for the better. TASB is here to help you do just that!

As TASB continues to grow the possibilities are endless. You can see and read for yourself the magic happening as TASB unfolds. We will share with our readers how TASB makes a change for the better coming from several TASB volunteers. Soon my hope is to see you as a TASB volunteer gracing the pages of Recognition with Style magazine. Enjoy!!

I am a little sad to see 2011 come to an end. Once again we have done such great work for our chosen charities — and had a lot of fun. That said, I know 2012 will be even better!

As most of you know, we presented our “Big Check” for $2500 to the Autism Society of America’s Greater Georgia Chapter at our 4th Annual Awards Celebration on November 12. Our celebration reflected on what our TASB volunteers have accomplished throughout the year — giving ‘recognition with style’ to our many volunteers, sponsors, and clients. The check represents the first of many future awards that will be distributed to organizations dedicated to autism research.

Award funds were raised at TASB’s first annual 24-hour “Cut-A-Thon for Autism,” held August 27–28, 2011. Approximately 100 TASB volunteer stylists and barbers from 20 salons and barbershops participated, including those from the following Atlanta-area locations: Heads-Up Hair Design (Kennesaw), One Look Salon (Marietta), Jennifer & Co. (Dallas), Doshia’s Parlor (Mableton), Perfection by Jeanette and Melissa & Co. (both in Cartersville), and A New Creation and Unique Hair Salon (both in Woodstock).

To date, we have raised $5,683 this year, benefiting charities including Autism Speaks and Relay for Life. I am proud of what we have done, and am thankful to all of you. Without your time and talent commitment, we couldn’t have done it.

The next “TASB Cut-A-Thon for Autism” will take place Aug. 25–26, 2012, and volunteers from across the nation are now being accepted. Spread the word!
