Hi friends, I bought my ball chair at the suggestion of my personal trainer who knows I have an unhealthy love/hate relationship with my exercise ball <g>. I found mine on eBay but the regular price at the Gaiam website (http://www.gaiam.com) is something like $100-ish, which, frankly isn't bad for a GOOD chair. Let's face it folks, we spend a lot of our day sitting and it's really important that we sit properly. The ball chair allows me to do so. Your customers will probably think you've finally inhaled a little too much monomer (mine certainly did) but once you let them sit on it for a moment, they'll most likely change their minds. I also show a picture of my chair to my students when we go over the chapter in the Milady textbook that discusses ergonomics (and it always gets a response). I'm even considering schlepping it to class so they can see first-hand (no pun intended) this comfortable chair.
I will admit that the chair does take a little bit of getting used to, but you'll quickly adapt...and probably NOT have a backache at the end of your day (definitely a plus, IMO). My ball chair is now in place at the computer and even my husband (who does have back problems) prefers it to a "regular" chair. Now Pati, I don't know why your chair squeaks. The only noise mine makes is the sound of the wheels when I roll it around. But now that I think of it, when I inadvertently lock one of the wheels, the chair does make an annoying noise which goes away when I "unlock" the wheel(s). Hope this helps! As you can tell, I truly do love my ball chair!

Jill-- Silly, you forgot to mention that Opalized Designs Studio Salon is in the running too, and that there is room for two phenominally sanitary shops with super awesome technicians on opposite ends of town in the Detroit suburbs! :) Friends, all Jill said is SO true!!! When the results were covered on Monday night, August 24th (to prepare for the BIG revealing finish...ooooohhhh...aaahhh), Eton was in 4th position and Opalized was in 6th! Both shops scored last year in the top five...Opalized--#2 and Eton-- #4! YEAH US!!!! Both shops were both blessed with advertising and client leads throughout Metro Detroit by being in the VOTE 4 THE BEST Beauty Catergory TOP 5 for Manicure and Pedicure...so Jill is so right if you have got the time and dual e-mails~~~both shops would love the support! One vote per e-mail addy per the contest rules! ALL of us, on these boards know this type of advertising and promotion is not necessarily available for small shops like Eton or Opalized when it comes to putting it in the marketing budget. So your help would be greatly appreciated by us both- especially here in the Detroit area! This is the Opalized link: http://wdiv.cityvoter.com/opalized-designs-studio-salon/biz/92064 And feel free to let us know if we are able to help you in the same way!!! Once your clients nominate you for something like this, it is amazing the excitement it generates in the salon! Jill, you said I need to be confident and I really DO listen to your pearls of wisdom! Thank you for all your guidance and support as my mentor the last three years and for the great times at the Chicago show as roomies! My OWN business happening this year is partially cuz YOU believed in me when others didn't and things seemed impossible! You are very special to me Jilly WIlly! XOXOXOXOXO With great appreciation to the rest of you for considering a double vote for two ROCKIN DEEE-TROIT shops, Kelley Killop-Marble Opalized Designs Studio Salon Owner and Jill Clark-Mentored Nail Tech Extraordinaire (Thanks teach!!!!!!) - Show quoted text - On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 8:19 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Everyone!
