ABC’s WIFE SWAP IS CASTING BARBER SHOP FAMILIES FOR PRIMETIME!

ABC’s primetime series “Wife Swap” is currently casting its fifth season and looking for unique families with plenty of personality to take part in the show. Specifically, we're looking for families who either own or work in one-of-a-kind barber shops! If you're a Barber with kid(s) and you think your family is meant for TV, we want to hear from you! Families who participate in this documentary-style program are given a unique opportunity to share their beliefs and lifestyles with another family. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience that can be life-changing for everyone. Please feel free to pass this posting along to any families who are interested in learning more!

Each week on Wife Swap, the mothers from two families with different values and belief systems will exchange lives. It’s an amazing family experience and opportunity to learn how others lead their lives. Half of the week, mom lives the life of the family she is staying with. After making her observations, she introduces several "rule changes," where she implements rules and activities that are important to her family. It's a positive experience for people to not only learn but teach about other families and other ways of life. Wife Swap airs on Disney owned ABC television on Fridays at 8 pm- the family hour!

If you are a two-parent family with at least one child over the age of 5 living at home, and you think your family would make terrific TV, contact us to be a part of this groundbreaking show!

How to handle SLOW DAYS!!

2009-03-25T21:51:00.002-04:00

All barbers have slow days; some are slower than others. A slow day for you may be 10 heads; another barber may categorize a slow day as 3 heads. Either way, the question is what do you do on those days? Here are some suggestions:

1. Organize your client list in your phone, computer, or notebook.... make sure you have your clients names, cell&home numbers, & email.

2.Update your Myspace, Facebook, and/or Twitter page. If you are a barber and you dont have at least 2 of these promotional tools, what are you waiting for?

3. Adjust your blades-keep those blades sharp

4. Clean your blades-Use blade wash

5. Organize & clean your station-make it presentable, customers look at that, besides... mom taught you better than that.

6.Pass out some flyers and business cards-Slow days are perfect for this.

7. Call/text/email your clients-Let them know your schedule is wide open.

8.Buy some supplies- You can always use some neck strips or disinfectant.... razors, blades,combs, etc., etc.

9. Wash your towels,capes, and jackets-When was the last time you washed your cape???

10. Get a haircut- You never have time to get a real, unrushed cut.... Aren't you tired of cutting your own hair??

Now.... here are 1o things you don't want to do on a slow day....

1.Go over your boys house; the one who hasnt had a job in 3 years, and get blunted.

2.Go over your boys house and play Madden.(You are not coming back to the shop no time soon.)

3.Go over your baby mommas house and see what she has to eat. (You already know what's going to happen. Nothing nice.....

4.Go to the strip club

5.Got to the gym-(I'm glad your healthy, but you'll be too tired to do anything else if you are really working out)

6. Go to the multiplex and watch 3 movies.... a lot of fun but your day is done...

7. Go to the mall... Save your money...

8. Go to Applebees, TGIF, Hooters or any other spot and have lunch/drinks/appetizers.... Save that for after a good day... Once again, save money on a slow day.

9.Go to the studio and spit some lyrics.... give it up, your 35 years old

10. Start fixing your car... you need the whole month to fix that hooptie

Barber Shop Thief!!

2009-03-17T00:03:00.003-04:00

I was cleaning up the shop on Sunday and began looking through the XBOX 360 video game stack I had. I noticed 2 games were missing out of the pile. After looking everywhere, I realized that someone stole the games. What infuriated me the most about the thievery is the audacity of the culprit. I am the type of person that would have let the person borrow the game for as long as he wanted if he would have asked me. I began thinking of all the people who had played the game this weekend and wondered who would rob me. I know the economy is terrible but some people ..... I'm pretty sure I know who took it but I cant prove it. Unfortunately, I have to go back to my New York demeanor and stop trusting everyone. Too bad.... I was beginning to like this southern hospitality.
