Back of my kids head... all done with a $15 home use clipper... does not need to be a top end tool to have some fun and do something different.

The clipper class banner


I love this spot in this convention center. it is a great place for our banner. it fits perfectly. it is a high traffic area. We get great exposure. We had 5 classes this weekend in a 300 seat room. we were SRO for all 5 classes. Nice! Good signage is a good thing.

Andis temporary barber shop


That is right. We built a barber shop, a temporary one at a pet show recently. The backdrop looks great. the set up was a lot o fun. The attendees loved it. the Bradley Caldwell Show in Atlantic City, NJ was a great place to debut this set up. Look for the mini shop to appear at other shows in the future.

Fun stuff at a show


This is just a simple design we did for fun on a student at a recent show. Styliner II for the lines... Graf etch pencils for the color. Easy and fun. Anyone can do it. Start small and smiple like this. Work your skills up to fancier things.

Texturizing blade video

The Andis BG series UltraEdge Texturizing blade... what we call the T-24 is a sleeper of a blade. Not enough cutters know about it and not enough cutters use it. It does great things. We did a short video to show off its basic capabilities... it removes 24% (hence, T for texture and 24 for the amount of the hair it takes out) of the hair that feeds through the still blade. it features a unique 5 tooth cutter balde to make this happen. there is a longer tooth on the non moving blade for control of the flow of hair. Bottom line... GREAT blade. if you do not have one... You have to get one.

Have a look at the video here.

The UnHairShow - The FREE table

We will have a FREE table at the next UnHairShow. This will be a table with FREE stuff, flyers, literature, samples, etc. Anything we can get for FREE that we can give for FREE that a clipper cutter would have an interest in. Presenters can provide us with stuff to place on the table. A vendor who can not be there can just send stuff for the FREE table. All materials Will be first come, first served, while supplies last.

This will be a great additional element to the UnHairShow concept.

Left over materials after each event will be either retained for the next event or tossed out. Materials will NOT be returned to the vendor... Unless the vendor wishes to pay for them to be shipped back... the key to all of this is that the UnHairShow remains FREE... so let's not find ways to add cost where cost is not needed.

More info isright here.
