As a Houston-based company in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Farouk Systems is dedicated to helping Texas residents and our wonderful community of hairdressers rebuild and recover from this unprecedented disaster.

We ask for your support in helping us raise awareness and funds for our fellow hairdressers currently suffering. As a company of hairdressers, for hairdressers, we want to help those in our stylist community rebuild and replenish materials that their salons lost.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are seeking stylists to participate in a nationwide Farouk Systems Cut-a-thon, through the end of September, benefitting local hairdressers and helping them restore their personal and professional lives.

Please encourage your clients to donate to The Professional Beauty Association Relief Fund, benefitting Hurricane Harvey victims in lieu of payment for haircut services. All donations can be made at http://www.probeauty.org/drf.

Share your Cut-a-thon photos with #hairdressers4hairdressers!

Imagine a world where the mere thought of outstanding student payments causes you no stress. 
Imagine that world where you look at your student receivables with feelings of satisfaction and pleasure, not burden. 

Many schools limit themselves to traditional student loans, short-term payment plans, or get fleeced by 'finance' companies offering the impossible. During this session, we will discuss the pros and cons of different financing options, and some interesting new financial models being piloted around the country. You’ll hear tried & true ways to never again turn away a student for lack of financing.

Presented by Sean Steinmarc of TFC Tuition Financing. Register today for the 2017 AACS Annual Convention & Expo!
