Dads and their little dudes and darlings will once again have a chance to enter the holiday season with stylish hair, thanks to our longtime partner Dove Men+Care and Bishops Cuts/Color.

On Saturday, Dec. 14, all fathers and their offspring can receive a “Holiday Shear” — free haircuts, washes and styling with Dove Men+Care grooming products at 18 Bishops locations across the United States. And, as with last year’s similar promotion between the two businesses, our dads have been asked to be special guests in participating cities where we have City Dads Group chapters.

Holiday Shear is a nationwide initiative designed to give families the gift of quality time during the holiday season.  The events start at 10 a.m. local time and run until closing or the DM+C products run out.

Hundreds of City Dads Group members and their kids are looking sharp for the holiday season thanks to a Dove Men+Care and Bishops Cuts/Colors.

Our fathers and their kids were special guests in 13 cities where the men’s grooming products company, a longtime partner of City Dads Group, joined forces with the independent hair salon to offer complimentary haircuts, washes and styling using Dove Men+Care products to guys and their offspring as part a promotion to bring “holiday shear” to all.

“Beautiful to see dads across America spending quality time with their kids and bonding in the barbershop getting haircuts today,” City Dads Group co-found Lance Somerfeld wrote on a Facebook post filled with photos from the events across the country. “Thanks to Dove Men+Care and [its] #HolidayShear program for bringing families together this holiday season … adding a dose of style.”

Jonathan Lai of our San Francisco Dads Group and blogger for New Dads, put together this great video highlighting the event at a Bishops in the Bay Area.
