“I get regular massages and facials at Therapeutix Mind & Body. I have been doing this for a year. Everyone is always friendly and professional. I get greeted by name, and everyone seems to be genuinely interested in my well-being. The regular massages have helped me with my lower back pain. I refused to use medication for the back pain for fear of becoming addicted. I can go about three to four weeks in between massages without pain.” – Rosalva G.

Maintaining a Strong Online Reputation by Focusing on the Customer Experience

We wanted to learn all about Therapeutix Mind & Body Inc. and what they’ve been up to since they won a Top Rated Local award for being ranked among the top five photographers in 2018, so we took a few minutes to talk with Co-Owner Crystal Hoppie.

It was clear from Therapeutix Mind & Body Inc.’s 2018 Top Rated Local award that they know a thing or two about building a strong online reputation, and their two 2019 Top Rated Local awards are evidence that they also know how to maintain their reputation. When we asked Crystal what they’ve done to continue to get such great feedback, she said:

“We just give top-rated services and customer care, and we focus on our clients. We build relationships, which leads to our clients sticking around.”

“We focus on the specific needs of every individual who walks through the door. All of us here have special gifts that cater to each customer. …Every service we provide is catered to each customer, because everyone is different. There’s no ‘cookie-cutter’ mentality here.”

Small businesses go through many ups and downs over the years, and we wanted to know what lessons Therapeutix Mind & Body Inc. has learned over the last year, as well as what their biggest achievements are.

Of their biggest challenges, Crystal told us that they’ve gone through many astronomical challenges over the last year, and said:

“You never know what tomorrow brings, so make the best of today. We face different challenges every day, whether they’re with clients, employees or the business itself. You have to take it step by step, day by day. Without challenges, you have no growth. Laugh in the face of adversity. Each challenge is unique in its own, and how to overcome them is always different.”

Crystal went on to tell us that their biggest accomplishment has been finding the courage to open another location.

What’s Next for Therapeutix Mind & Body Inc.

Small businesses can be a lot of work, and we wanted to know what motivates Crystal and her team at Therapeutix Mind & Body Inc. to serve their clients day in and day out. When we asked Crystal what’s most rewarding about what they do, she said:

“I love being a part of an amazing community. I have learned so much about myself. You cant be successful without a team behind you. You can’t do it yourself, and I have realized just how much you need others and their support.”

Crystal added:

“We love helping people.”

We were excited to learn about what comes next for this award-winning photographer, so we asked Crystal what their goals are for the next year. She told us:

“I would like to see our team grow together, for the culture to be tighter and for them to support/learn from one another. We aim to contribute more to the community and continue to grow and be a blessing.”

As the owner of a second-time award-winning business, Crystal has a lot of knowledge to share. When we asked what advice she has for the many new business owners out there who are just starting out, she said:

“Take the leap. Take the first step, and see what happens. It could change your life in more ways than one.”

Crystal ended our conversation by giving a shoutout to Blake, her husband, the vice president of the company and her “rock,” and said:

“I couldn’t do it without him.”


Congratulations to Crystal and the team at Therapeutix Mind & Body Inc. for a being Top Rated Local award winner for the second year in a row.

Utah’s Top Rated Local® Barber Shops Award Winner: Black Cat Barber Company

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Black Cat Barber Company is a 2019 award winner for barber shops in Utah!

If you’re looking for a barber shop that offers great haircuts and an environment that will make you feel like family, look no further than Black Cat Barber Company in Tooele.

Black Cat Barber Company has received more than 125 reviews with a perfect average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them a wonderful Rating Score™ of 97.00 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five barber shops in all of Utah!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Kevin was awesome. His was the best haircut I have ever received. I will also say [that they have a] really awesome staff and [provided me with the] best service I have ever received. I wish my hair would grow faster so I could [go] back already.” – Michael P.

Not Your Average Barber Shop

We wanted to learn all about Black Cat Barber Company and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Kevin Clement.

The first question we had for Kevin was what is it that sets Black Cat Barber Company apart from their competition in Utah. Here’s Kevin’s response:

“It’s not just a haircut; it’s an experience that you’ll get each and every time. We don’t deviate… We’re consistent with our service every time, and that’s why we retain such a high customer return ratio. We custom cut everyone’s hair to the shape of their head. …That’s pretty much why we do what we do — so that we can keep capitalizing, growing and priding ourselves on being the best around. And we intend to only get better.”

Kevin went on to say:

“We’re just a small shop with a lot of local guys here. A lot of us are, by society’s norms, all tattooed up and look rough and tumble. But we’re just a bunch of honest guys making an honest living. We just love what we do. When you love what you do, you never work…”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Black Cat Barber Company and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Kevin had to say:

“My personal motto has always been to treat others as you want to be treated and always take care of your community. Treat your community as if they were your own, because at the end of the day, likes on Facebook, Instagram and social media aren’t what pay our bills. It’s the clients themselves who come in who pay our bills. My mission statement is that every client that comes in is an audition. We’re auditioning to be their barber.”

Building Success Through Honesty and Good Service

Kevin attributes Black Cat Barber Company’s strong online reputation to their commitment to always being honest, providing good service and being good people. He also told us that they’ve built up their online reputation by using multiple platforms, as well as by asking their clients for reviews and stressing the importance of reviews for their business.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Black Cat Barber Company has gotten their name out there by handing out flyers, as well as through Facebook ads, Instagram ads and their website. And once they learned about Top Rated Local after their neighbor won a 2018 award for employment agencies, Kevin started pushing his clients to use it as well:

“The more online reputation you can have, be it Yelp, Google, Facebook or Top Rated Local, it’s only going to better off for you in the long run.”

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Black Cat Barber Company has. Here’s Kevin’s expert advice for them:

“Don’t get lost in the online aspect of it. Take the time to get out and do the groundwork. Shake hands and meet people in the public as well. Really, really hone in on that word of mouth as well. That’s a big one especially for anybody that’s trying to grow a strong reputation. I tell a lot of clients, ‘If you can’t tip us and if you feel obligated to tip us, just leave us a review. That, to us, is just as good as a tip because that will pay dividends to us, tenfold over the years.’ We’re not pushing them but asking and emphasizing the importance… Just let people know how much it helps us, and they will feel compelled, especially if they like you. They want to help you, and if you stress to them the importance of helping you by leaving reviews, nine times out of 10, it’s easy. They’ll always want to help out and leave a good review.”


Congratulations to the team at Black Cat Barber Company for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Kevin, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Black Cat Barber Company in Tooele. Visit their website today!
