Pittsburgh Magazine named Michael Bʼs Gentlemenʼs Barber Shop (MBGB) as the BEST

BARBERSHOP in their “Best Of” Pittsburgh edition for 2009. With the recent city-wide success of his

newly opened shop, owner Michael B. is celebrating by giving back the community – one of which has

helped get to where he is today. “Everyone has choices to make in life – sometimes we make the

wrong ones,” says B., “This is an opportunity for me to help spotlight a local organization that makes

a huge impact on Pittsburgh youth and teens.”

MBGB will be hosting a “Cut-a-thon” to benefit Outreach Teen & Family Services Inc., a community

resource for young people and their families, fostering emotionally healthy teens by providing

counseling and educational programs in a welcoming and supportive environment. Their general

Saturday, November 14th, 100% of service income and donations will go to Outreach Teen and

Family Services Inc. Additional revenue will be generate through raffle in which MBGB will be
