I had a buddy tell me last week that put together a few quick words on the profession of hair stylists from an economists view. I had to have him explain a few things to me (per capita apparently means per person) but it was cool to take a look at.

Hairstylist Derek J made a strong impression on Chris Rock’s 2009 documentary about black hair “Good Hair” as a competitor in the Bronner Bros. International Hair Show.

The producers putting together a reality show about fantasy hair gave him a call to be a judge. He said yes. So he flew out to Los Angeles for the six-week shoot to pare down 10 fantasy hair competitors from around the country. He also provides some mentoring a la Tim Gunn.

“It was definitely different being on the judge’s side as opposed to being a competitor,” said Derek J, who runs a Buckhead salon the J Spot, which just moved last week to 314 Buckhead Ave. with 12 hair stylists. He said he has won more than 20 competitions over the past seven years.]]> http://www.barbersandstylists.com/forum/the-lounge-7/atlanta-hairstylist-derek-j-judging-oxygen-8217s-8216hair-battle-spectacula/ Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:53:11 +0000 http://www.barbersandstylists.com/forum/the-lounge-7/topic-of-the-day-how-do-you-handle-a-client-who-is-always-late/
How do you handle a client who is always late for their appointment? We are not talking about 5 min, say at least 15min.

Hair, as it turns out, is an efficient and abundant material for collecting and containing petroleum spills.

Jarbas Godoy, owner of The Dog from Ipanema in South Miami, started sending clean hair clippings one week after the oil spill in order support the efforts of Matter of Trust, a San Francisco environmental charity that first started collecting hair 10 years ago to help clean up a series of small spills.
"I found out about this effort from other groomers on my Facebook page and knew I wanted to help out," said Godoy. "We've been sending a full box of hair each week to a donated warehouse space in Marathon, Florida."

I checked out the Massachusetts Barbering School in Quincy, Massachusetts back in November, and was put on the waiting list for a June 1st start. But of course, as my life always goes... feast or famine. Yesterday, I was offered a job and now am on the fence as to what the heck I should do now. Of course, I need to let them know by today or tomorrow if I am going to take it.

I am wondering if you could give me some insight as to the benefits you see being a barber. Potential earnings, etc.. any and every piece of information you are willing and have the time to provide, I would be so greatful.

I am trying to choose between something I would be excited to do for work everyday, barbering, and a job that would gaurantee things like salary, vacation time etc., but wont necessarliy be fulfilling day in and day out.]]> http://www.barbersandstylists.com/forum/barber-roll-call-stylist-roll-call-9/deciding-my-path-of-whether-to-take-a-job-or-go-to-barbering-school-wonderi/ Wed, 19 May 2010 16:48:04 +0000 Sarah Alves http://www.barbersandstylists.com/forum/the-lounge-7/upcoming-hair-shows/ If you have information on upcoming hair shows and education classes, please post them on the forums and also in the events section.

Well I have come to a decision to get a full time job and only work in a salon on Saturdays (if the owner will agree to that, and hope she'd let me work on Sundays, too.) If she does not, then I will have to just do that on my own, part time.
