Dads and their children have a chance to take a little off the top for free this weekend.
Our longtime partner Dove Men+Care is partnering with 22 Bishops Cuts/Color barber shops across the country on Saturday, Dec. 8, to offer complimentary haircuts, washes and styling using Dove Men+Care products to guys and their offspring as part of a promotion. Our City Dads Group members and their children have been asked be special guests at the “Holiday Shear” events being held in 13 cities.
“To help families spend more time together while preparing for the holiday season, Dove Men+Care is giving the gift of free washes and haircuts to men and the children in their lives by spreading #HolidayShear,” the men’s grooming products company wrote in a news release.
City Dads Group chapters have been asked by DM+C to be special guests at these events. Meetups have been arranged by our organizers in the following cities (click the link then check out the group’s scheduled meetups for location and time details):

In addition to the free haircuts, Dove Men+Care will have activity cards to encourage some father-child bonding through drawing, playing and conversation. Photo opportunities will also be held so the dads and kids can show off their new holiday haircuts.
Bishops Cuts/Color is a national chain, founded in Portland, Ore, that is predominately minority owned, that offers affordable haircuts and gives back to each of its communities, according to its website.

Houston dads, we no longer have a problem. You now have your own chapter of City Dads Group.
The national fatherhood support network recently added Texas’s largest (and the fourth largest in the United States) metropolitan area to its roster, which now lists 28 chapters.
The Houston chapter is the organization’s third in the Lone Star State following Dallas and Austin.
Manuel Gonzalez is the founder/organizer of the Houston Dads Group. The father of two active toddlers runs the website The Way I Dad: a predominantly visual resource for new parents that aims to provide the answers to parenting’s everyday questions. Gonzalez says his daytime work as a safety and environmental professional helps him provide a unique and thorough perspective on sustainable consensus and gentle parenting.
You can find the Houston Dads Group on these social media channels:
City Dads Group is a dynamic and diverse community of fathers redefining, by example, what it means to be a dad in the 21st century. Our national support network has more than 8,100 members based in and around major metropolitan U.S. cities. These include Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Dallas.
Founded in November 2008 in New York City as a way a handful of fathers could arrange playdates and outings with their children. The organization went national in 2014.
