Hello Parrot Head,

Thank you for the feedback. Obviously our costs must be much, much different because we could not make money on $140,000 in sales. Interesting. It would be nice to be able to make a living without the huge risk of having to bring in big sales just to break even.

Canada has a very defined seasonal pattern. We are very slow in the fall, picks up and booms by spring which dies off come July.

I hope we get more feedback in terms of what others consider a busy salon. How many years has your salon been in business? Are you noticing the negative affects of negative medial campaigns on the news, internet, newspapers, talk shows etc.
