high traffic area and I think this would be a great area for you just coming in from another state

Speaker 2

come in and take a look and see what I don't want to know type of work environment you have and so

Speaker 2

I'm understanding that a lot of people that do head and have different rooms is that how this

Speaker 2

setup is yes that's how it's set up however I do actually have a you actually have a suite I do

Speaker 1

have a suite it's a double suite so there is room for another technician but you know with it being

Speaker 1

for the person that's going to come in and work for you.

Speaker 2

Yeah, right, right, because you're going to be working real close to each other.

Speaker 2

I understand.

Speaker 1

You know, if we kind of meet each other, you know,

Speaker 1

we can get a feel for each other and see if we can work it out.

Well, let me ask you something.

Speaker 2

Have you worked around a PHS person before?

A PHS.

Speaker 1

I'm not familiar with that term.

Speaker 1

Is that a California term?

Speaker 1

I don't, what's a PHS?

Speaker 2

Private hair specialist.

Speaker 2

Have you worked with a private hair specialist before?

Speaker 1

Well, I would consider myself private because I'm in a suite,

Speaker 1

but you would be working out in the open with myself,

Speaker 1

so I don't know how private you would be.

Speaker 1

No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2

You don't understand where I'm coming from.

Speaker 2

I'm a PHS, okay, private hair specialist.

Speaker 2

And what that is is I do women's private hair,

Speaker 2

like if they want removal from under their arm or their chin

Speaker 2

know I'm an artist so I've known to put your name there I can dye it a different

Speaker 1

color mohawk a landing strip you know I mean let me let me let me stop you right
