Things have changed and sometimes I am lost. My salon has received 100% rating in my salon for the past 15 years, but the inspector said some things have changed. Enlighten me!
Hi Dana,
Yes, things have changed and continue to change; as communicable diseases change and mutate, as new chemical agents are created and tested, sanitation standards also must evolve. But fear not… it’s all good.
You must be doing something right when you are rating at a 100% for fifteen years. Each state has their own sanitation rules and regulations but some things are universal. Allow me to reiterate your good salon sanitation habits.
Here are some pointers concerning contagious disease.
Always do:
*remember that a communicable disease is transmitted from one person to another.
*Pus is a sign of infection.
*Aids is caused by the HIV virus and can be transmitted by sharp implements.
*Bacteria and viruses can enter the body through broken skin.

The cutting edge salon
Thursday, February 28th, 2008Hello my readers,
Every now and then when traveling my beloved country, I come across a hair salon that I consider a cut above the rest, the friendly neighborhood barbershop and salon that has an edge on what may be considered, excellence. In Orlando Florida on 10661 E. Colonial Drive, I have found such a place. This place is most appropriately named The Cutting Edge.
There you will find a group of talented and dedicated staff rich in diversity and talent. What is your request? Just ask and you will learn that there is someone there that can satisfy your intent and give you some good laughs and conversation in the process. From fades to weaves and everything in between, The Cutting Edge is a place where the mystery of great hair ends and the delight of fabulous begins.

I am a salon owner that has been caught in a political controversy, any advice?
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Question: Hi, I am a salon owner that has been caught in a political controversy. I have to admit that I am not exempt of blame that has initiated the discussions that have become argumentative. I want to get a hold of the political dilemma in my salon, any advice?
Answer: My dear Comrade, you have dipped into a very deep, vicious, and unforgiving pool of S&&#, but all is not lost.
I am sure that the saying “never discuss religion or politics” rings true to you right about now but, I am not going to tell you I told you so because I never did. I am sure however, that you have experienced the reality of that analytical advice at one point or another. You have seen first hand how the subject of politics can get out of hand quickly.
Today is January 27, 2008. Tomorrow is another day. Decide today that your tomorrow will be better smarter and more productive. Unless you are a political analyst or a future candidate running for office, don’t make your political views or opinions public. That old time all wise saying is worth repeating, “Never discuss religion or politics”. Every one has the right to believe how ever they wish, and we as human beings have the right to express our selves any way we want to with out infringing upon any one else’s right to happiness and piece.
Politics and religion seem to invade those personal barriers that we hold so dear. Start today and make a difference. Talk to your coworkers and or employees and indoctrinate them to believe on the side of wisdom. Wise decisions
