Clipper tip of the week, week 52, 2009

Here is your Ivan Zoot / ClipperGuy / Andis clipper cutting tip of the week... the technical tip...

Clean Up – Clean necks and sides upward, against the natural growth direction. If the growth direction is inverted, invert the tool and clean down. Do not trim with the moving teeth against the skin. These teeth can cut if placed against the skin in the manner... this "clean up" in an upward motion.

Here is a video on sideburn trimming... I am pretty sure I mention this tip in this video.

Business building tip of the week, week 52, 2009

Here is your Ivan Zoot / cliipperguy / Andis business builder tip of the week for week 52, 2009.

Go on Vacation – All work and no play makes for a cranky clipper cutter. Enough is enough. It is time to take a week off. Go on vacation. Have a hobby. While you are gone the hair will be growing. There will be plenty of it for you to cut when you return. You will return to the shop fresh and energized. Clients will be happy to see you. You will be ready to provide the kind of service that earned their patronage in the first place and will keep them coming back and sending their friends for many years.

I like this tip, I like 'em all, but I know this one works and is very necessary.
