Hair Cuts Keep Your Spirits Up
Folklore tells the tale that two industries thrived during the depression. What were those two industries? That's right--garbage collections and hair cuts. Yep, hairstylists remained in demand as the country struggled to put food on the table! The trend continued in the economic downturn of 2008. (Skip to the bottom for our summer steals!)
"The Census Bureau records a jump " in an otherwise glum report about mom-and-pop businesses, stating that the number of hairdressers and barbers and the shops they work in grew by about 8 percent from 2008 to 2009, one of the few industries to register growth in a tough economic climate."
Why is a Hair Cut So Important?

What does hair really signify?
physical health (glossy hair does imply great nutrition)
allegiances to a particular culture or group
deep emotional changes (going from short to long, changing your color or style clues the world into deeper changes in your psyche)
readiness for work (who doesn't get a hair cut before a big interview)
death or the end of something (Native Aborigine cut their hair at the death of a loved one to show the end of a life cycle. Regrowth signified a new life cycle.)
