Hello Everyone—

Our new “baby”—behindthechair.com OnPaper—has entered the world and even though it’s early, we can humbly say that it’s a smash! We’re already getting tons of lovely notes and emails and the buzz is building. We were especially moved by this review from our good friend Gordon Miller, who has his hands full planning the NCA Salon Life program in August, but took the time to write, “Fresh, smart, beautiful, cool, sincere, respectful, insightful, FUN, all that and more. All of you, be very proud.” Thanks Gordon, we ARE proud, because we believe that we’re providing the industry with more hair, more how-tos, more business building and more inspiration—more of everything that you really need. If the mailperson hasn’t delivered your issue yet, take a sneak peek. And once you get your copy, if you like what you see, drop us a note--your comments might make it into the next issue!

-Mary
