BeemerBoy Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Kind of reminds me of Sport Clips. For those not in the know, at Sport Clips you're able to sit and watch ESPN, or any game that might be on while getting your haircut (hot chick on the website probably not included). I'm picturing coaster videos instead of sports. Hmmm, maybe the Alveys are secretly invested in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MixedDrink Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 ^I'm just curious, why do you always hit "return" after typing a comma? :/ It's my crackhead way of writing.

larrygator Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think all that needs to be said has been said on this topic. If Haircuts (or any other "cuts") at Six Flags come to fruition I'm sure that me and my 5,100 shares hovering at $0.20 a piece will find out and this thread can be unlocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFrombaugh Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Umm... well. I'm really not sure what to say. If this turns out to be true, it's just going to be another weird decision by Six Flags that will continue to confuse and amaze me. Agreed! There's this haircutting place in my hometown known as Killer Kuts that's so overdone. They have this crazy atmosphere, they give you all kinds of goodies and stuff, and the first time you go there you get 5 minutes in a massage chair for free (which was more than enough for me, that thing tickles!). First time I got my hair cut there I was like, "Gee, I don't know whether to faint or hug the barber..." I wonder if these Coaster Cuts will be gimmicky like that too, probably, but it might be cooler to me if they're themed to a BTR station or something, with the B&M restraints on the barber chairs one poster mentioned, maybe they could be "floorless" barber chairs so your legs hang when they pump the chair up. Hmm...I guess I'll have to see. EDIT: Yeah, it certainly does look gimmicky to me! And...what does it say on that site?!? "If you are taller than 54 inches you must be accompanied by a minor???" WTF?!?! Well that pretty much locks me out of getting one if that's the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBJ Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 It really seems like a non-core business for SF, Inc. to be investing in. I mean, why not buy shares in companies like B&M, Vekoma, Intamin, etc.? Was there some kind of research study done showing the need for a novelty haircut brand? Supercuts dominanting the all important low cost hair cut? The least they could do is to get this business on a reality tv show. In theory, Harvey Weinstein sits on the board of SF, time to call in some favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 ^Roller coaster and ride companies are privately held. Plus, Six Flags figured that this could be an easy way to make more money. I do think they should wait until they are in better financial shape before they go in to any new businesses though.

All Clear Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The 'taller than 54"' thing looks to me like it's a kid's-only haircut place. I've seen similar things around town. They have smaller chairs that raise up higher and better proportioned shampoo bowls. I saw one where above the shampoo bowl was a big elephant head and the water came out of its trunk. Kinda disgusting, actually. I'm all in favor for these things because I normally hate cutting kids' hair. Unfortunately, these places tend to come and go quickly. You can only charge so much for a kids haircut therefore shops like this don't make much money but the overhead is the same. Not a lot of kids get highlights and that's where the money is. Maybe they'll have OTSRs on the chairs to keep kids from wiggling so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Well, SF already invested in toys, video games, and now haircuts so it could be possible. The toys and video games were a licensing deal produced by a 3rd party that Six Flags had approval over the final product. I don't believe they actually invested any money in those products. The hair cut store seems to be different though as the website is owned by Six Flags Inc. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
