A few years back I would have agreed with that ignorant statment. But being married to a Hairdresser (not barber) I would have to say you are most likley wrong. You see most women care deeply about their looks. My wife has had costomers drive as much as 300 miles to have their hair fixed. She has had women call on the phone crying because they went to some one else and got their hair messed up. The fact that the price changes indcates that different services are being preformed. If it is a full service salon she may be having her hair colored, trimed, highlights put in, waxing done, nails done, pedacure and tanning. But most likly not all for only $300. My wife makes around $55 an hour doing hair in a very rural area in a city like bufflo or rochester about 100 miles from us she could make twice as much or in NYC or some place like Los Vegas she could make at least 4 times as much. Its not just cutting hair a lot of education goes into it. At least 5 or 6 times a year she goes on education trips to learn the newest in styles and techniques. She also stocks about $8000 in hair color and perms. And her tools are not cheep just her shears cost over $400 and she has them sharpend about every 2 months. She sure makes a he$$ of lot more mony than I do. Last night when I went to pick her up for diner(we do that every friday) she was working late on a client who gave her a $170 on a $128 service for staying late. I surly don't mind eating a little later. My thought is to tell her how nice she looks when she gets back and forget you saw how much it cost.

A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
