2015 fears/Hopes
 
As we enjoy the Holidays, 2015 is coming down the line.

I see the number of large stores on the decline,chains slowing thier growth and a return to the classic family run salons.

With leases surging, I think a large salon in future will be a max of 10 units.

I also think that biz savey owners will do away with the palm trees and posters girls, and maby jump into some type of other retail to add to their bottom line.

What, do away with palm trees----you got to be kidding. I have the most inviting décor in a 200 mile radius. U spose' this is the reason for my demise? Gosh, if I'd only known, I would have gone marble floors and pillars, and changed the name years ago. lol

I'm bumping up to 15 units in a few months in a space more than double my current.

I hope my sales dictate the trend I've seen this year to sustain, They should have no problems but still a fear as always.

I also Hope that Parrot has a year for the ages if for nothing else one **** of a going out party haha

^^^David, you can count on it. I'm not regretting, not for one minute, my experience in this business. I'm done, but that's not to say, It hasn't been fun. I have loved my customers as if they were family, and I'll tell you this, Parrot Bay is going to be missed, as well as, I'm going to miss all my great customers . My only competition in town, with 7 beds, is going to think they died and went to heaven.

I refuse to do away with my pink flamingoes in the lobby.

They spell, c-la-s-s every time the door opens.

What about my alphabetical membership cards and home depot wind up timers.

Hey now... I'm sure Peach has lotions on his shelf from when Pink Flamingos and Membership cards were a must have and in all top notch salons!
