That Saturday in June when 14 walk-ins lined up by 9am and my clippers died mid fade
Back in 2019 I had a Saturday at my shop in Macon that started with 14 guys waiting outside by 9am because a wedding party all needed cuts before noon. I was flying through skin fades when my Andis clipper just quit on the third guy, no warning, dead battery and no backup charged. My old mentor Sal used to say always keep a corded backup under the chair, and that day I learned why. I ran to the Walgreens next door, grabbed a $25 trimmer, and finished the whole line with it, slow but clean. By 1pm I had done 17 cuts and made $340, which was double my usual Saturday. The wedding photos came out fine, but I still charge two clippers the night before every busy weekend. What is your emergency backup setup when gear dies mid shift?
