We posted some information about Michael's PhotoArt in our Culture Shift post last week, but we've had many questions about our involvement with the American Heart Association Go Red for Women campaign, so we wanted to give you more information.



Michael Schuh, owner of Michael's Salon has been fortunate to travel the world doing what he loves - hair design. Some of the elements that lend to being a great designer transcend to other fields - including photography. As Michael travels, he always has his camera ready to document the beautiful and the bizarre.

Recently, as part of the salon's renovation, Schuh selected some of his favorite photographs and had them transferred to canvas prints with the help of MotoPhoto, located in Centerville at Washington Square. The response to the new artwork has been extremely positive, with many requests to purchase duplications of Michael's PhotoArt.

Right about the same time that we hung the new artwork, we also became involved with the American Heart Association Go Red for Women. Heart disease is the number 1 killer of women in the United States. On a personal level, Michael's Salon has several employees who are affected by it - along with many clients. In order to help raise funds to bring awareness to this great cause, Michael is selling limited edition reproductions of his PhotoArt, with all profits being donated to Go Red for Women.



The video above is a short promotion for the sale of Michael's PhotoArt. For a closer look at the artwork, private tours are available at Michael's Salon - or you can watch the longer tour by Michael on YouTube.

For more information on purchasing Michael's PhotoArt or Michael's Salon's contribution to the Go Red for Women campaign, please contact Kim Ash at kim@mediagrouponline.com or (937) 435-4701.

As Michael's Salon enters into a new decade, a Culture Shift is under way to ensure that we give our clients 110%. This Culture Shift encompasses many things, including the recent renovation of the salon including all new PhotoArt by Michael, a renewed focus on customer service, and increased involvement in the community.

Along with a fresh coat of paint, the walls at Michael's Salon were revamped with new artwork - all photographs taken by Michael himself on his travels around the world. Limited edition reproductions of Michael's PhotoArt are available for purchase, with all proceeds being donated to the American Heart Association Go Red for Women Campaign. See the video below for more information:



Some of Michael's renewed focus on customer service can be seen here on our blog. Our weekly "How To" videos have been a big hit, as well as our monthly Designer Spotlights, and we have been successful in reaching out to many women in the community through social media. But none of these efforts mean anything if we can't keep our clients happy in the salon. We have a client survey in the works so that you can all leave us feedback and tell us what we're doing right - as well as what we can improve on. This survey is coming soon - probably with a giveaway, so look for it in the coming weeks!

Michael's has reached out to the community recently, and we've got more planned! We are proud to be the Official Salon of the UD Flyer Cheerleaders. Also, as mentioned above, we are working with the American Heart Association Go Red for Women Campaign, and have several events planned with them over the course of this year.

This past Saturday, the corporate team took a moment to recognize the outstanding staff that we have here at Michael's with a celebration of the changes we've made and that are yet to come. At this celebration, Michael recognized several employees that were selected by their peers to receive awards.

Michael's Culture Shift Celebration was a great time for our staff to loosen up and have fun! Thanks to everyone who attended - without you the evening could not have been a success!
