And the neckline… don’t even go there. Too high and it looks off. Too low and it grows out messy. There’s a science to where that line should sit so it grows back clean.

For a lot of people, this might be the only moment in their day where they can actually sit down, slow down for a second, and still handle whatever life throws at them whether that’s business calls, family stuff, or something unexpected.

So instead of getting annoyed, I try to set the tone in the shop where you can relax, get cleaned up, and still take care of what you need to take care of.

If you need to answer a call, handle some business, or deal with something crazy while you’re in the chair… it’s all good.
