Should barber exams be printed in the students native language?
I went to a Barber state board meeting recently in the state of _______. A Hispanic barber was trying to get the board to allow him to take the test in Spanish. He passed the practical part with no problem but kept failing the written section. One board member said it would cost $70,000 for them to transfer the test in every language. Another board member said, "If I was in Mexico they wouldn't give me the test in English." The board decided not to allow the person to have a translator or give the exam in Spanish. Fair or not???

Easter WEEKEND: The Good, the Bad, The Ugly
Once again it was a blessed and fruitful Easter weekend. Most shops experienced one of the busiest weeks of the year during this time. Gotta give thanks... Now the good... We experienced a steady client flow all week, several new clients who heard about us came thru, the tips were big, and posted a top 10 Saturday. I also reconnected with some good former clients who did not know my new address.
The bad... appointments vs. walkins... I gotta take the blame for this one. When you walk in our shop, apparently it's not clear that we accept both walkins and appointments. A few appointments got out of their cars and walked right in our chairs; to the dismay of some clients. One regular client walked out super pissed cause I had an appointment even though he was waiting for a while. One suggestion I will try is to put a sign informing clients that others may have appointments so "check with your barber when you walk in." I need my barbers out there to tell me what works for them...
The ugly... The cable was almost cut off... Guess who forgot to pay the cable bill? It was a full shop, everybody watching the NBA and a big notice flashes on the screen and says, "Pay your cable bill or you will be disconnected." Everybody in the shop then looks at me.... REAL EMBARRASSING.
