Scoop Factory Scoopstakes: A Pampering Pairing

Spoil yourself, and your special someone, with a 'his and hers' makeover package

This one’s for you, gentlemen. (Well sort of, because we’ve got an equally indulgent treat just for the ladies. See below.) But let’s focus on the guys for a minute. Not boys mind you, but men. Manly men. The sort of man who always dresses to the nines, drinks his scotch straight up and gets his hair cut at an old fashioned barber shop. Who doesn’t want to be that guy?

Well, we’ve got three words for you: V’s Barber Shop. Founded in Phoenix in 1999, V’s has helped introduce a whole new generation to the joys of the traditional straight razor shave. Here, you can settle into a leather padded chair, read about the latest exploits of that dapper gangster, John Dillinger, and grouse about those kids and their crazy Jazz music.

OK, so V’s is actually a pleasantly modern twist on the old-fashioned barber shop, but the classic decor will certainly have you wondering if the guy next to you is about to get whacked by an angry mobster. And now we’re giving you the chance to step back in time for yourself with “The Whole Deal” (shampoo & haircut, shave, shoeshine, facial and face massage) as well as an assortment of V’s signature products.

Even better, this prize package also includes a treat for the special lady in your life: a 60-minute facial, haircut, style and makeup touch up from the super-stylish Mood Swings Salon. Housed inside a century-old brick building on Tempe’s Mill Avenue, this ultra-modern salon has been named of the Valley’s best by everyone from 944 to the Phoenix New Times, and boasts a 4.5 star rating on Yelp.

To win both, simply Tweet or post the name of the founder of V’s Barber Shop to our Facebook wall, and we’ll randomly select a winner. Good luck and happy pampering.
