I haven't blogged in a while, mostly because everything's been a little crazy with the move to Culver City, not really with physically moving things, but getting my information on Google, Yelp, my social media, and all those no-name directory sites that pop up and then texting everyone once they make an appointment to make sure they got the email and know I am in a different salon before their appointments. I've had a few people go to the old spaces, so I've been trying to stay on top of it. Now that we're settled in Culver City, everything's been running smoothly and I've picked up right where I left off from the Wilshire location and starting to build again. One of the main changes that I've noticed is that a lot of guys that used to come in for evening haircuts aren't able to make it to the salon during the week since the move to Culver City, so they have been making appointments for the weekend which have been filling up a little faster at this salon. Nothing crazy to the point where you have to book your haircut a month in advance, but I've had people looking for something on a Saturday the night before that haven't been able to get in. I have a few guys who thought this location was a little far for them, but they have just been making their hair appointments when they travel since we're somewhat close to LAX. I haven't got a chance to explore Culver City much yet, mostly just down Sawtelle and Sepulveda. I'm still trying to figure out the best times to try to get back to the valley, so I've been going straight home as soon as I get done doing hair. I know this is a little down the road, but I also wanted to let everyone know that I will be taking vacation the first two weeks of June. I will be out of the salon starting Thursday, June 1 and returning on Wednesday, June 14. I'm not going anywhere exciting, just back to Iowa to visit family. I don't take a lot of time off, and haven't taken any since April 2015, so I like to give people a lot of notice since you can generally expect me to be here six days a week, every week. For mid May-mid June appointments, you might want to book a little earlier than you normally would have to. I'm guessing I will fill up quick since I will be out of the salon for so long. As my books fill up I will extend the days and work later to try to get everyone in. I will send an email reminder as well when it gets closer to the date, I always just like to let people know as soon as I book the flight.
