mission impossible

Nothing like not posting on my blog to learn how many people actually read it. Truth is that I have not been very inspired to write lately and was hoping that the fall hair shows would do the trick. Unfortunately without having found a car yet I am not going to the shows. So my new inspiration is going to be the bad hair of the world. My aim is to make it better. I have chosen to accept the mission. This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.

revelation

I over think everything. When I decided to open my own spot I thought and thought about color schemes, curtains, accessories, etc. My newest obsessive musing has been about price stickers for my products. Yesterday I spent most of the morning going to three different stores never finding exactly what I wanted and still spent $75. That is right for price stickers. I get to the salon and am thinking I am going to be spending all afternoon making price tags by hand, ordering a custom made stamp, and creating a whale of a mess. Then an epiphany. Why can't I use my little cards that Holly designed for me? They already have my logo on them, and my phone number, and my blog address. Punch a hole in the corner and tie with a piece of elastic. Write the price on the back corner. Not only are they cute as all get out, now every product that leaves here has an extra card that could be handed out to another perspective client. So viola I look really smart. My products look like I have custom tags on them and I will take all the credit. Oh yeah thanks Holly for talking me into Moo cards. They ARE great for everything. And if you couldn't tell I used my dictionary today. A lot.
