Sorry for late reply! I have fixed the links.

We are still perfecting design. We are adding additional colors such as pink/black Red/Black and possibly "Army Camo" to have complete product selection:) We are also in talks with sally beauty:cool:

Hey great product! I was thinking recently that it would be great if there was such a utility at hairdressers! Awesome idea and implementation, keep us updated!

Wow, that's really a neat concept! It also has a high-end feel about it, because it would make the salon seem like they're catering to their "busy clientele."

Hey, one quick thought... When you take your next photos, here's a suggestion: Consider two different "action shot" variations. Maybe one with an attractive, hip woman in her twenties or so, someone who looks like they just popped into the mall to have their hair cut. And/or consider another version where you have an attractive "busy executive" type, probably in a suit, could be male or female. Have them looking at their phone with a pleasing expression on their face while a high-end stylist puts the finishing touches on their style.

Since this is a startup, recruit relatives to act as the models, especially if they're photogenic. You can always pay them a buck and make them sign a form if you're worried they might hit you up for more loot later.

Thanks my friend. That is a very clever idea for us to utilize. We are perfecting the design as i feel something is missing but i think we'll let the end customer decide then we can work from feedback :) Website will be up soon

Brilliant!

I would dispense the cover on the see trough part. And around the neck I would keep the same design as the regular ones we find today!

My only thought is does hair get stuck in the seem when the flap is down? That is the only thing I could really see being an issue.

Hey just a thought, there may be a reason you created the product the way you did it but to address the issue above my not make it so the flap opens from the inside.. The product would then be seemless on the front catching no hair and the customer would easily be able to open it with his hands under the jacket.
Just a thought

Also, great work I think this is a winner

Thanks for all the great input my friends. We are very much perfecting the design. It would be a problem getting the cover to open from inside as we would have no way to cover the fabric from the exterior. We are overall looking for a very high quality nylon to finish the design:) I will post pictures when these are completed.

Starting colors will be
.Army Camo
.Black
.Red/Black Trim
.Pink/Black Trim
.Grey/Black trim

Any recomendations?

Thanks my fellow fastlaners!

Thanks my fellow fastlaners!

I dont quite understand "It would be a problem getting the cover to open from inside as we would have no way to cover the fabric from the exterior" I assume that was directed at me. I dont understand what you mean but you seem to have things pretty much covered so probably just something I am overlooking.

More or less my idea is to take your product and turn it around (inside out?)so that on the front you see the majority black smock with the see through triangle (I assume this material is similar to the a clear shower curtain that would keep hair out). When the flap is shut you would see the black flap through the clear plastic triangle.

Like I said above theres probably an obvious reason this cant work I just didnt quite understand your response.

Good work so far, and good luck
