HARRISONBURG, VA, November 13, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kaiss K. Abbas has been inducted into Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
While attending middle school, Mr. Abbas became interested in cutting hair after apprenticing at a barbershop, having been asked to come to the shop so that he could officially learn the trade. As he learned how to cut and style hair, he was soon capable of providing such services for all of his friends, as well as his own middle school teachers. In 2019, Mr. Abbas established his own shop, Maestro Barbershop. Located in Harrisonburg, Virginia, the shop offers services for men, women and children, and encompass haircuts, beard trimming, hair straightening, eyebrow threading, hair coloring and facials.
As a team, Mr. Abbas and his employees are working to elevate the barbershop experience. They aim to contribute to the local community through fundraising events, having recently sponsored a weeklong event for the pediatric unit of the RMH Children's Foundation. They donated 40% of the profits from each haircut throughout the week to the pediatric unit and eventually raised $1,500 at the end of the fundraiser, which went toward essential equipment, including vein finders, blanket warmers, toys and food. The barbershop received a great deal of local news coverage for the event, including a feature on Channel 3 and an article in the Daily News-Record.
Mr. Abbas has been most proud of his ability to help others and make them happy through his services. He has enjoyed building his shop toward success, while bringing more people into the business to help in different areas. Looking toward the future, Mr. Abbas plans continue building his business and eventually open more shops. He would also like to buy land to develop housing for people in need.
