A slow day and a milestone

Today is a slow day here at the salon (at least for me). I had two cuts listed on my book (a husband and wife - a very charming pair that I really enjoy.) When they came in the husband told me he thought his hair was still short enough. We decided to have him call when he was ready for a cut. The wife then told me how much he loved his hair now and had been styling it differently every day. That, of course, made her very happy because her husband now looked younger and better! Chalk one up for giving the male species confidence that they can, in fact, care about what they look like.

That's one of those issues that I really want to keep pushing forward: That men do not have to limit themselves to the same ol' same ol'. Men can have style. Men can care what they look like. And trust me, it will make the woman in your life happy if you care about what you look like. And, as my dear ol' dad says, "If momma ain't happy, ain't no one happy." So, men, take a tip from me - try something new with your hair, it might just make the woman in your life happy (and if she's happy, you're happy.)

Today, after totally up Saturday's book, I realized that I reached a big milestone. Remember, I have only been doing hair for a year now. So I am, as my daughters would say, a n00b (that's noob for non-geek-speakers). But for this pay period my commission would equal more than my hourly wage! Woohoo! Now, let's hope I can keep up the growth. Just have to keep new people coming in. Hint, hint all you peoples out there needing to be pretty. ;-)

That's all for today. Peace out.
