Re: Any thoughts on ETS Premier Salons?

Wrecked I asked because I get a stupid call every week about how I should join the program. You seem to have a good grasp on this industry after all you have 5 stores. Quick question, your a premiere salon I assume, I have a lady up the street from me with 3 beds and no customers, but she is a premiere salon. Would I be wrong in assuming your salon is comparable to hers? Not knocking you, just curious as to what your opinion is on that.

As a salon owner who clearly takes his business seriously, do you not find it odd that another salon owner can be rated in a similar class to you but without no where near the purchasing power? ETS seems so Wal-Mart like now.

I do obviously carry some of the more high end lines, I would be crazy not to, and the rebate cheque is indeed not bad, but I make more money off the manufacturers and distributors that offer me no rebate, but stronger specials, and a slightly more competitive discount.
