  Speaker 2: how far apart the seats can be, how bright the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: lights can be, whether you can serve refreshments, whether you

  Speaker 2: Ashton is the owner of Ashton and Gray Hair Design. Hailey, Hello,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Hi here, how's it going good? Thank you? Are you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: loving this?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Oh? It's quite interesting. It's actually a bit of an
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: interesting read. And I've just finished watching the updated video
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: on David Seymour. Yeah, I don't know how it's going
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to go.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, what isn't it just aren't we
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: all just gonna love it and do what we want
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to do?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I suppose so, but I guess, like from a
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: hairdresser's point of view, it's great, like there are lots
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: of silly, silly little rules with regulations in the salon.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Like I think I'll just give you one of my
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: favorite ones which is how many basins we need to have.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: So in my small hairdressing salon, I have six chairs
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and I need to have a basin for washing hair
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: or two of them. A basin to wash your hands,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and in the toilet that's fine, a basin to wash
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: all of our color bowls out the backward. Okay, another
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: basin if we want to wash all the dishes, all right,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: and then another hair basin to wash our hands. Because
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: we have six chairs in the salon.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Why what does the six chairs mean you have to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: wash your hands? Is it six chairs equals another basin?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Well, it's ten chairs. Then I'd need to put another
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: basin in.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So oh that's nutty. Why aren't you loving these rules,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: chat but just being scrapped? I mean that's lunacy, isn't it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no things like that. But I guess, like
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I think one of them is the dogs.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Like we you don't have to say yes to it, Hayley.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You can be like this is no dog hairdresser.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Exactly, which is really cool. I mean, I've got clients
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and I know are quite afraid of dogs. We actually
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: have had someone bring their dog in, sit on their
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: lap and then vomit all over our floor, right, But.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Are you are you worried you're going to feel pressure
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to let the dogs in? Yeah?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I think there might be a little bit of that
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that we know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: How No, Hayley, you just say, look, just say some
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: of your clients are scared of dogs, and we'll just
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and just say you're getting pressure from us to not
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: do it? Yeah, yeah, totally.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: And there are ways around it which we're not too
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: worried about.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Are you going to change? Are you going to change?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: How far apart the seats are?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not. It's so silly, like it is the whole
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: thing and how they measure it is from the center
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: of the chair to the next center of the chair.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my goodness, and your chairs can be
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: as big or small as you want them. Like it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: so silly. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Okay. So tea and coffee is.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: On, always has been, so a little thing there with
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the break. Just to clarify it, I know, naughty. Just
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to clarify it is if you are serving ten coffee,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: which has been fine since nineteen eighty, you either need
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: to have a separate dishwasher, which I do. I have
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: a mini dish washer here in myself, or you need
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to serve it in paper cups. So I have always
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: served teen coffee in real cups and it has gone
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: into my real dishorsh.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Hailey, thank you very much. It sounds a lot less
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: complicated now. Hailey Ashton, hairdresser at Ashton and Gray Hair Design.
