TY frineds!

Very good news

I have very good news on the fashion forecast... We just might be done with low rise jeans... I have seen very few of them in London this weekend. This is a very good thing. And know... I have been looking at jeans. More and more women are wearing full rise, classic rise jeans. Many are the very skinny leg variety, the jeans not the women... which is just fine with me, although, some are so skinny legged that I wonder how they get them on and how comfortable they are not... In the U.S.A. this would be a welcome trend. I will gladly take the skinny jeans with the higher rise. Lets hope I am accurate in this.

fashion Update, London, UK

Do you still have your parachute pants from 984? Better go look. You will need them... if I still have mine I would not likely fit in them as I am a bit bigger and rounder... but I will likely be at the store buying some very soon... they will be back on our side of the pond in just a bit... seeing many of them here in U.K. at salon International. I will grab a few pics tomorrow. Unlike some fashion trends that when they come back they are updated in colors, materials or detailing... these are back same as I remember them... and I do remember them... even the swish, swish sound the nylon makes as they walk by...

Business building tip of the week, week 38, 2009

This is the Andis, Ivan Zoot, ClipperGuy, clipper cutter Business building tip of the week for week 38, 2009

Week 38

Open on Sunday - Sunday used to be the day of rest. Now it is the day of catch-up. Many harried consumers use Sunday to do all the things that did not get done during the week. Sunday hours can be shorter than the rest of the week. You should open a bit later and close earlier. Many shops report that Sunday is one of the most profitable days of the week in revenue per hour. You can cram a full day of revenue into a half day of work if you maximize the flow through the chairs. In many cases, opening on Sunday and closing on a weekday is well worth the trade off. The bonus is that you can then be off during the week when the rest of the world is working. This makes doing the things you need to do easier when crowds are lighter and lines are shorter. It is a double win for you and your team.
