Hair Care On-The-Go!

While some women are willing to spend a fortune on professional hair straightening treatments to get their curly, frizzy, or coarse hair to behave, others opt to take the easier and much less expensive route using a hair straightening iron at home. But what happens when you’re on-the-go and need to touch-up those pesky fly-aways?

John Berlingieri, President and CEO of Fashion Vending USA, has engineered a solution to those bad hair days. After much research, he found that women desired more styling services in ladies rooms, health clubs, nightclubs and other such establishments. With his background in aircraft manufacturing, Berlingieri designed a product that solved the problem. It’s called Glamour Buddy, the revolutionary new hair iron vending machine that’s becoming vastly popular in high-end nightclubs across the country.

Glamour Buddy allows users to rent its TAHE hair iron for variable amounts of time. The machine is not only useful in women’s restrooms, but in gyms, hotels and shopping malls, as well. Thirty companies in over 15 states have ordered machines for their stores. And that number continues to grow every day.

Candice, a fan of Glamour Buddy, explains why she loves the vending machine so much. “It saved my wedding day!” says Candice. “I got married outdoors at a beautiful country club on the ocean. Halfway through the ceremony, a thick fog rolled in. Within seconds my hair turned from fancy to frizzy! I panicked! I hadn’t brought my straightening iron to the venue with me. But my Maître D' assured me that all was well. They had the Glamour Buddy hair iron vending machine! What a genius idea! A few coins and a couple of minutes later, my hair was back to looking smooth as silk, just in time for the reception!”

Another Glamour Buddy fan, Gina, was skeptical about the machine when she first saw it in the locker room at her gym. “I thought it might be unsafe to use a public hair iron. But after investigating the machine, I learned that the extremely high temperature that the iron produces ensures that the ceramic plates are always sanitary and sterilized! I’ve used it several times now after showering at the gym and I’ve never had a problem!”

The Glamour Buddy hair iron vending machine works best when used with TAHE’s fixative spray that protects hair and creates a lustrous shine. The spray can also be purchased with use of the machine and lasts up to 200 sprays!

President vows to reduce regulatory burdens for small business in op-ed

In a recent op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Barack Obama explains his rationale for signing an executive order that he asserts will help improve the nation's business climate and boost job creation.

According to the piece, the order mandates a government-wide review of current business regulations so as to remove those that are outdated or hampering economic recovery. The government, Obama writes, will be "making it our mission to root out regulations that conflict, that are not worth the cost and/or that are just plain dumb."

In particular, the president writes that he is tasking federal agencies to do more to relieve small businesses of the regulatory burdens placed upon them.

"Small firms drive growth and create most new jobs in this country. We need to make sure nothing stands in their way," he writes.

However, whether small businesses buy into this rhetoric remains to be soon. Some groups, such as the National Federation of Independent Businesses, said that they will be watching closely to see if this is mere political posturing or will amount to real change.
