Mobile Barbers

photo_blog_onsitehaircut.jpgThe Wave Magazine: Do you find your weekends being eaten up by errands? Thanks to an ingenious local entrepreneur, you can now eliminate a trip to the hair stylist from your To Do list. Dena Kaufer, a 20-year veteran of the hair biz, has retrofitted three Winnebagos into full-feature salons on wheels. Her team of stylists drive their mobile barber shops onto the campuses of Silicon Valley’s biggest tech firms so employees can get a quick snip-and-trim without leaving the company office park. Some of OnSite’s stops are open to the public, while some stops are designed for campus employees only.

Check out TV Brackets

The BBC is planning to invest £25m in children's TV programmes over the next three years, meaning TV Brackets and TV Mounts could be reaffirmed as positive assets to any modern environment.

LCD TV's, programmes and TV Brackets and TV Mounts have taken a battering in recent years with many suggesting that watching TV may encourage laziness.

Hello Ms. Kaufer,
Just wanted to start off by saying, I love this idea!! I have been in the process of devising a plan, to have the 'Mobile Barbershop' experience be the best that it can be. Currently, I am a barber by appointment, where i drive to my customers' location. Only after my regular 9-5 & the weekends. Over the past years doing the home calls by appointment, figured why not make this my number one priority. Wondering what's my next step, what advice would you give to someone such as myself?

Best,
-Joelthebarber
