Betty's and Nick's

Have you ever been to a hair factory? No, not a factory where they make hair. A factory where they cut it off. I visited an amazing place. Betty’s and Nick’s in Chicago. Wow. These places are BUSY. They cut a LOT of hair. If you live in even a small city and you have dreams of a high volume hair cutting business you need to go on a field trip here. There is a lot to learn. I am not crazy about the prices. They call themselves “the home of the $5 haircut”. You could argue, it is no big trick to be busy at this price. But the help makes money and they are up to 6 shops, all busy. Check them out and learn.

Haircuts for men.org
Have you been to this web site yet? If not, go. This is a great site for those passionate about cutting men’s hair. A few of my favorite parts of the site are the shop listings and the conversation forums. If you know of a great shop, list it here. If you own or work in a great shop, list it here. If you want haircut advice, or like giving haircut advice go to the forums. All are welcome. There is a nice, comfortable, no-nonsense vibe here. The owners and posters are straight shooters when it comes to suggestions and ideas for your hair. I have visited several shops listed and have not had a bad haircut experience with any of them.

Clipper on EBay

Be on the lookout. Keep an eye on ebay. Actually, just stay tuned here. Andis and I will be putting one of the clippers from the Guinness World haircutting event up for auction on ebay. I will autograph it. We will auction it off with all the proceeds going to the Children with Hair Loss charity that got the $ from the world record event. This will be a valuable collectable. Talk about a great conversation piece on the wall in your shop… Imagine the publicity you would get if you sent out a press release that your shop bought it and made the donation to charity… Imagine the awesome mojo radiating off of this tool… How fast could you cut with it? Would you event want to?

Andis Clipper Combs

Everyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about Andis clipper combs. You just can’t clipper cut well without one. I used more than a few for my recent breaking of the Guinness world haircutting records. I have a whole box of them left over from the event. Would you like one? Autographed? Send me an email. Tell me why Andis clippers are your clipper of choice. Tell me what Andis clipper is your favorite. Tell me why. I will publish some of the emails here in the blog and I will send you a FREE comb that I used on a world record haircut. How cool is that?

The Andis T-Liner

This tool (23990) has now risen to the top of my list of Ivan’s favorite Andis trimmer. The NEW blade design for the Pivot motor series trimmers just rocks. All the tools have received this new upgrade. T-Liner and PTX (00000) as well as the Povit Pro trimmer (23475) and the pivot Pro trimmers in both the silver/grey combo pack (23965) and the upcoming pink Pro Duette combo (00000) all are in on the upgrade.
The trimmer features a standard upper (cutter) blade. The big news is in the lower (comb) blade. Have a look at one. The Lower features a unique tooth configuration and pattern. The teeth are wider and deeper. As a result, the tools feeds super fast. I am sure you can imagine why I like this. I have used the new blades for a while. I liked them right away when we began testing them. I liked them even more when the decision was made that the T-Liner would be the trimmer of choice for my world record break attempt. You can line clean and crisp. You can clean/shave nice and smooth. You can even do a bit more over-comb work as a result of the increased feed capabilities of the teeth.
You just have to try these blades. You can put a new blade on an older pivot trimmer or just pick up a new one. Either way, you can rock with this new tool.
