Illumoination to go

The Illuminator dryer is in stock and ready to ship. With the ViewMaster having come in to stock the week prior we now have 4 tools and a full line to offer in illuminated LED technology tools. No one else in the industry can offer this real benefit based feature. These will be fun to sell and demo. This will be a great way to light up your holiday season and add some sparkle to your work. Happy holiday season just a bit early.

SRO Flat top

It was standing room only again for my flat top demo class this past weekend. It never fails. I will have to push Andis to let me do a flat top DVD… There is soooo much interest out there for this clipper cut. My son was the model, so of course the cut was sharp. It helps to have a great model.

More on the 4 min. fade

Wow! You guys were really interested. I have had more emails requesting information on my Andis 4 min. fade technique than any other blog posting to date. I am happy to share… just keep asking for my help. It works for me.

Groomer needed

Are you a dog groomer with talent and enthusiasm? I have a great lead for a great job for a dog groomer in the near north shore Chicago suburbs. Contact me through the Andis site for info if you are interested.

KC, MO BBQ

I have never eaten a full slab of BBQ ribs in a moving vehicle and not gotten some sauce on my shirt. I am proud to state that I kept that streak alive this past week in KC, MO. I was crazy to try it… and would have been crazier NOT to! Wow, was that great!

Bronner bros. Aug. 2007

The August Bronner Bros. show was a hot event in more ways than one. Of course, the weather was hot and muggy. Of course, I got to Turner field for the first few innings of the Braves’ game before the rains came. Of course, Andis’ presence at the show was a big success. Highlights of the event included… a full sell out of spaces for competitors at the barbering competition… a standing-room-only crowd in my revolution cutting clipper class… a strong presence of business minded men’s haircutters at my Manpower class. Antonio McGill rocked the floor with his solid presentation at the Atlanta barber and beauty booth. Kenny Duncan was a standout in his presentation with Major League Barber. One of the most important things I noticed this time was the increase in general market vendors as well as an increase in general market attendees. If this show was to market itself to more general market vendors and continue to focus on diversity… they already own Atlanta… they could own the entire eastern half of the U.S. for dominance in a truly multi-ethnic beauty show. See you there again in Feb.

4 min. fade

Giovonni’s head was a sight to behold. He was the proud owner of a 4 min fade. I had just finished trying out, for the first time, the horizontal fading technique I referred to in an earlier blog post. It works great. This was the best and the fastest fade I have ever clippered. You need to try this! It just plain works great. I am working on some graphics and a tech sheet to explain this concept. Be on the lookout for it. Email me if you want a copy.
