CHANGING TIMES

  My overall look at the hair dressing industry at this time .

There was a time when a hair designer could make a six figure income . These days the average designer is lucky to be making 20 bucks an hour ( with there tips ) and allot are making less than that .

What caused this huge change ?

The change was solely caused by the emergence of quick no appointment type shops like SUPERCUTS - FANTASTIC SAMS -

COST CUTTERS - HAIR CUT STORE

( I use the phrase SHOPS because these types of hair businesses are not salons , they normally don't offer nails , message , facials , etc )

they are low budget businesses set up for the middle to lower class public or the guy that just isn't as concerned about his hair style .

This type of change to business approach is also apparent in just about every business segment in the US . Quality of product and the pampering of customers is being thrown to the wayside and being replaced by huge businesses run by one guy at the top sucking up all the money wall everyone else eats beans for breakfast lunch and dinner ( that's if they can afford dinner ) . There formula for success is getting rid of all the competition by low prices and in hens becoming the only one selling the product so the you ( the consumer ) is forced to buy from them .

The US is seemingly / silently turning socialistic .

what's next ? communism ? I thought that's what they were telling us we didn't want ? LOL ------ I'm confused .

AND SO IS EVERYONE ELSE ,
