They came for a fade.
They found a mentor.
Every young person deserves to feel seen, supported, and connected to a permanent community.
At barber conventions across the country, young men wait for Aaron Smith because someone finally sees them. They ask about clippers, but the deeper questions are about discipline, faith, sobriety, work, and becoming providers.
Revive Together's Faith in Fades was designed to bring that same presence into foster agencies, juvenile halls, recovery spaces, and neighborhoods that rarely receive lasting mentorship.
Four ways we build lasting confidence
Trusted Barber Mentorship
Consistent adults create space for honest conversation, encouragement, and accountability.
Identity & Self-Care
Grooming becomes a practical ritual for dignity, self-expression, and personal confidence.
Life Skills & Direction
Young people receive support around decisions, discipline, healthy relationships, and purpose.
Permanent Community
We help build the caring connections youth need beyond a single appointment or program cycle.
A stronger future starts before crisis.
Our work complements foster agencies by adding culturally responsive mentorship and consistent human connection. When youth develop confidence, belonging, and trusted support early, communities become safer and young people can move toward adulthood with a stronger foundation.

Together
Our Mission
Revive Together, Inc. is a faith-driven men's support group tackling addiction, broken marriages, and the call to serve through brotherhood, mental health support, and honest conversation. Grounded in scripture and community, Revive offers a safe, relatable space where healing starts in the barber chair and extends into every area of a man's life.
How It Started
Founded by Aaron Smith, a respected barber whose chair became more than a place for fades and tapers, Revive grew from honest conversations about faith, struggle, trust, and testimony. When clients began asking for something deeper, a men's group rooted in faith and honesty was born.
Why Now?
The barbershop is a familiar, approachable place that feels safe, real, and judgment-free. Revive meets men and young people where they are, blending barbershop culture with spiritual mentorship to create a powerful path toward healing, confidence, and brotherhood.
No family should have to wonder where their next meal will come from.
Revive Together is working to ease food insecurity through corporate sponsorships with Red Robin and Jollibee, and by showing up at community events where families can gather, connect and receive support.
At barber conventions across the country, men wait in line for Aaron Smith. Not just for the precision. Not just for the fade. They wait because someone finally sees them.Young men pull him aside and say, “Can you show me how to build what you built?” They aren’t asking about clippers.They’re asking about discipline. About faith. About staying sober. About becoming providers. Revive Together, Inc. was born because mentorship shouldn’t be reserved for convention floors. It should be accessible to every man who’s ready to change.
When you give to Revive, you’re not funding a haircut. You’re multiplying mentorship. You’re helping us bring this same presence into juvenile halls, recovery spaces, and neighborhoods that don’t get convention stages.
