Thursday is the day we feature an Andis item you should know more about.
This week is the MI-5 series professional dryer(s). We offer this dryer in both the inferno red color in the Elevate line as well as in our colorwave blue/green vario chromatic color in the Andis regular line.
This is an ultra light, DC motor dryer. With 1875 watts of power and 2 speeds it can deliver high heat and high air flow. It has a cool shot button to quickly lock in style and the tourmaline ionic technology delivers smooth, shiny hair and helps to lock in moisture. The MI-5 series dryers are also dual voltage with just a flip of a switch.
The suggester detail price of the dryer is $29.95. This is a great value for a feature packed dryer. You get a lot for your money, including the Andis 1 year warranty.
Here is a link to the dryers info on our web site:

Wednesday, Vocabulary Day - H
Today we are up to H in the ClipperGuy vocabulary day tour of the alphabet.
H – Hands-On Workshop – A clipper cutting class in which participants watch a demonstrated technique and then attempt to replicate it on a model or mannequin on the spot.
There is no better way to learn clipper cutting than in a hands-on workshop. I just do not teach enough of them. Problem is... in order to get the attention that a participant needs and deserves the class size must be smaller... fewer paid heads and the ticket must be more costly. Many people inquire about hands-on but the price scares them off. For a clipper cutter really interested in improving their skills rapidly and for the most bang for your buck... there is no better way than a hands-on workshop.
As hair shows continue to diminish in value and relevance in our industry, smaller, higher value experiences, like hands-on workshops will become more important. As I do fewer shows I will have time for more of these better events and classes... so... bottom line... do you want to participate in a Ivan Zoot led hands-on clipper cutting workshop? Get 12 ppl together in your area. Get in touch with me through my email below. If you can get 12 licensed hair cutters interested in a hands-on class and willing to put down U.S.$300 each we can make it happen.
I hope to hear from you.

The Andis logo in the back of the head on the main page… that is Jeremy’s work. He has relocated to LA for a change of scenery and to open up new options for himself. Good luck to you Jeremy. Go see his site at the link below and go see him for a good clipper cut.

Clipper Tip #10
Tuesday is ClipperGuy Clipper Tip day here in the blog.
Clipper Tip #10 – Don’t Go For a Swing
Use mid-length extension cords so that you are not supporting the entire length of the cord swinging between you and the outlet. Let the cord run along the floor. You only have to hold up the weight of the clipper and enough cord to get from your feet to your hand.
Be aware that the other end of the cord length spectrum is a problem too… unnecessarily long cords are searching for brooms to catch them and for feet to tangle up. I have seen many shop visitor have a very close call and a near miss fall from getting a foot hooked into a too long cord. Andis offers dog and horse clippers, some of which are very similar to human models. One of the good reasons NOT to use a comparable model in a people cutting environment is the excess cord length.
