Back to TX

I had not been to TX for a number of years. Now I am here again for the second time in 2 months for clipper stuff and will be back for a 3rd trip, a family vacation in June.
Ye Ha!

Grand Opening

My wife and I attended the grand opening of a new location for a large beauty school chain. It is nice to see the health and growth that the school segment of our industry is enjoying. Enrollments are up, tuition is high, raining is better than ever.
Note: Hot job opportunity in the industry is school educator... lots O'jobs.

Sell, Sell, Sell

Today was fun. I was asked to facilitate a full service sales meeting for one of our sales managers. I have not done a sales meeting in way too long. I forgot just how much fun that is... and just how good at it I am... They sold the warehouse empty the next day. We had to scramble to quick ship them some more... next month... :)

Tied!

I tied my fastest haircut record cutting NASCAR's Make Wallace this weekend. 2 min. and 9 sec. was all I needed to get the job done. I guess I am still in fighting trim!

Speed meets speed

The world’s fastest haircutter will cut the hair of one of the worlds fastest drivers this weekend. Mike Wallace drives a Busch Series car sponsored by SportClips. I will be cutting his hair at the 400th SportClips store grand opening in Las Vegas this weekend. I hope he can sit still long enough for me to get it done.

Makes me happy

I made a new friend at the show this past weekend. The demonstrator from American Crew was across the aisle from the Andis booth. He was using his CrewMaster clipper with an Andis Ceramic EdgeBlade on it. We see this all the time. The really good haircutters know the difference and prefer Andis blades. Even when the have to use the competitions clipper they run an Andis blade on it. Makes me happy!
