Whats been going on?

Well we’re all systems go again at the salon, recently appointed our fifth

barber, Tom Harris, who is fitting in just nicely and I predict a great future for

him. The other guys are working their socks off, Clark is starting to plan his year

ahead of competitions, Kate is ploughing her way through her level three

qualification in hair and Kieran, commonly known as ‘Canada’ is getting stuck

into his level three barbering. So as you can tell, we never rest on our laurels

and are always looking to invest in our staff and push our boundaries of

knowledge and skill sets.

As I’ve previously mentioned in my last blog, I got a new camera, yes I’m still

out photographing anything and everything that moves, but something made

me chuckle when a conversation with Mike Taylor turned to what camera you

got? I’m thinking of getting one too! Camera geeks that’s what we are! Ha ha

ha!!

We also decided that it was time to launch ourselves into videos, so after

several long discussions and many brain storming sessions, we finally decided

on what wanted to do, a video to demonstrate what we do in the salon on a

daily basis, starting with a shave video and then progressing to different cuts,

all by different members of the team.

Kieran was up first, the wet shave. We really wanted to do something

different, but still wanted our retro feel, so rather than simply film a video then

cut it to a suitable viewing length, we decided on photographs, in fact over two

thousand of them, to be processed in to a short film, yes loads of work. Got to

admit the end result was pretty much how we had planned it to be, yes we

know what needs to be improved on, but it was our first attempt and bloody

good too.

Here is the end result, play it back and enjoy.

So what’s new with Hairbond?

Well a couple of new products on the way and 50ml pots about to be

launched. As a lot of you may be aware, Hairbond is also available through

Capital and Aston and Fincher now, broadening your chances of trying out the

rapidly growing styling range, I’m pretty confident that once you’ve tried it you

will want to use it and stock it in your own salons.

Right, that’s enough of me now, time to get back and use those barber skills

again, until next time, adios!!
