Schedulicity launched a major rebrand this January in a move meant to nod to how far the company has come — and how much it owes to its roots and the service-based businesses that built it.

Bevel is proud to introduce a new category to their product line: BEVEL Body, along with new additions to the Hair and Skin lineups.

Global grooming competition in search for the next hairstyling star begins.

An all-new edition of the acclaimed unscripted series THE SHOP: UNINTERRUPTED from HBO Sports and UNINTERRUPTED premieres SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14 (10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO. Starring LeBron James, Maverick Carter and a diverse lineup highlighted by actor and producer Will Smith, six-time MLB All-Star pitcher CC Sabathia, stand-up comedian and actor Martin Lawrence, rapper, songwriter and activist Chance The Rapper and marketing executive Paul Rivera.

The series is also available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, HBO On Demand and partners’ streaming platforms.

HBO Sports is collaborating with UNINTERRUPTED to present this innovative, unscripted series. Presented periodically throughout the year, the show offers unfiltered conversation and debate between a unique ensemble of some of the biggest names in sport and entertainment. The Dec. 14 show was filmed in Los Angeles.

Wahl Professional is pleased to announce the winners of its Barber Battle 3 competition. Andrew Rosario (@AndyFadeMaster) of West Palm Beach, FL has been awarded first place in the competition and earns an honorary year-long spot on the Wahl Education and Artistic Team (W.E.A.T.) and a prize package that includes the complete 5 Star line of tools.

Cory Hull (@thehellrazor) of Marysville, CA earns second place in the competition and was also offered an honorary W.E.A.T. membership for 2020 along with a selection of clippers, trimmers and finishing tools.

Josh Pereira (@iamjoshpereira) of Boston, MA has scored third place in the competition. The win gives him a spot on the Wahl Select team as well as a barber combo set and prize pack.

Wahl’s U.S. Director of Education, Lisa Finucane, chose three cuts for the competition – the mid/low bald fade, the Caesar and the modern mullet – to test entrants’ skills and their ability to teach more complex styles while being pushed out of their comfort zone. Pushing limits and redefining haircutting continues to be on Wahl Professional’s agenda for 2020. Finucane plans to continue to challenge entrants in Barber Battle 4 with the inclusion of another longer hairstyle.

Prospective participants should be on the lookout for Barber Battle 4 details in mid-2020.

 “It’s amazing to be on W.E.A.T. and be able to create pieces of art on stage with everyone. I can’t wait to start educating with so many great barbers. This competition really does open doors for people who enter,” says Rosario.

For Hull, being on a team is a dream come true. “When I was asked to join the team, I was so excited. I [appreciate] comradery and being around people who love what they do and are loyal to one another, and in this case loyal to Wahl. I’m extremely pleased to have achieved a goal that I’ve had  for years.”  

Says Pereira, “I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for Wahl clippers. I am just so honored that this company has given me this opportunity to reach my goals. I’ve learned how important it is to keep moving forward and to never slack off.”

When asked for advice for next year’s participants, all three winners noted how challenging it was at times to give step by step instructions, especially through a video. They urge future entrants to prepare as much as they can for the competition and to make sure to get a great videographer.

Says Rosario, “I made sure that I was comfortable and confident in the haircuts and with the models. I went down to every last detail taking notes on how I styled them, what tools I wanted to use, and that everything was in place before I started filming. Make sure you always give it your best and never settle with the first take.” Hull advises, “In order to succeed you just need to be yourself. Show your  bread and butter in the video and show how you can set yourself apart from the competition.”

Matty Conrad announced a new $5,000 #schedulicitycares grant winner, Jovan Figueroa, LIVE on his story in October.

Jovan, who owns a private creative studio, Man of Culture, hosts some of the best stylists and barbers in Miami.

“Being one of the first in Miami to adopt Schedulicity in my business back in early 2011, it has propelled my business to a whole other level. I utilize all tools and functions this platform has to offer,” says Jovan. “From scheduling to marketing, classes workshops, all the way down to Schedulicity Pay, I use it all! They save you money, time and let’s not forget your database does not go away no matter what!

I aim to bring aboard talented barber/stylist to MOC and help them grow all while expanding our reach in the city. Creating opportunities for the under served by giving back.

“The ultimate goal is to give scholarships to children who aspire to be a stylist or barber, provide more humanitarian efforts for our local community and yearly contribution to charities in need.”

Scalp micropigmentation experts Scalp Artist International are ending the year on a high, with the opening of a brand new location in Beverly Hills. Founder Eddie Lopez is originally from Los Angeles, so for him, the new expansion is also somewhat of a homecoming.

Eddie said: “It’s a pretty big deal for me but it was quite unexpected. It wasn’t necessarily a goal that I set, it just kind of happened naturally. I guess when something is meant to be, it just works out.”

At the new location, Scalp Artist International will bring their industry-leading expertise to the heart of Beverly Hills, where aesthetics play an undeniable role.

“It’s the golden triangle, the shopping mecca of the world – style is everything in Beverly Hills, from haircuts to permanent make up so it feels like it’s exactly where we are meant to be. I just feel blessed to be where I am,” says senior SMP technician and 
trainer Jeff Cruz.

BarberEVO co-owner David Foster commented, “This latest move by Eddie and Jeff really cements their position as world leading practitioners in their field. Beverly Hills feels like a natural fit for Scalp Artist International, and we are all super excited to help continue to promote the fantastic work these gentlemen carry out on a daily basis, changing clients lives for the better! Stay tuned for some exciting collaborations in 2020!”

Jeff and Eddie will be alternating their weeks at the new location, ensuring that everyone who walks through the doors gets the best treatment possible. This will also help ensure continuity for the many existing clients in Denver and throughout the United States. 

Being the ambitious and driven team that they are, they are already knocking on the doors of the Los Angeles elite, with hopes that it won’t be long until they are welcoming a few famous faces into the practice. 

You can find the new clinic at 9455 N Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, and more details about Scalp Artist International by visiting www.scalpartist.com or by calling 720 477 8171
