Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I have been doing hair in this industry, in this county for 13 years
What is your primary product or service?
Organic Color Systems, some Aveda makeup and hair products and scalp massage oil
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I started brushing and putting "Dippity Doo" and barrettes in my Grampa's hair when he was watching the baseball games and I was 7 -8 years old! That poor man!
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I KNOW hair color.... It's not guess-work for me... there are color theories and there are Laws of Color (meaning lifting 3 shades from brown makes natural remaining pigment of yellow, ETC.).
I pay attention to what I'm doing!
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I just closed my shop with 8 employees due to the breakup of my relationship..... NEVER do business with your romantic partner!!!!
Provide detailed directions to your location
In the couryard in the same center as The Cantina (in the back)
What type of payments do you accept?
I only accept Cash or Checks if you are taking advantage of a "Special Offering", but if you are paying regular price for a service, I take Visa, MasterCard and American Express.... But I'm a small business and ALWAYS prefer cash or checks because, I don't like to wait the 3 - 4 days it takes to deposit the funds into my account and on top of that, I'm charged 3-5% to process. If I were a bigger business or had employees, but it's just myself! But, YES! I do pay taxes on everything!
Which areas do you service?
Marin County
What are your hours of operation?
M, Tu, Thu, Fri and every other Sat. I usually work till 8:00 of necessary.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
That they "Love" their hair, or they feel like I care about them as a person!
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
We're not here for a LONG time... we're here for a GOOD time!!!
