Check out the Easter haircuts.
While the early Easter this year threw off results at many retailers, the holiday haircut was apparently still in fashion.
Regis, which runs Supercuts and other salon chains, posted its biggest same-store sales increase in eight years, helped at least somewhat by the early Easter, which moved into the company’s fiscal third quarter this year.
The company said the majority of the sales increase came from price increases. (That shave and a haircut definitely costs more than two bits.)
But it also cited the earlier Easter as boosting sales, which helped lead to more than a tripling of profits.
Nothing beats the feeling of a fresh haircut.
