The Salon Chair Guys, originally known as Affordable Salon Equipment Repair (ASER) began as a small salon equipment repair business in San Diego, CA. My father (Danny Sr) and I wanted to fulfill a need he saw in the industry. Growing up, when a chair would break down he would lug it to the back and together we would see what we could do to fix it. He always complained how no one was around to help salon owners maintain equipment after it was sold. So in 97, after 20 years of hairdressing, he decided to quit hair and focus on salon equipment repair. It was my freshman year in college at SDSU so this was a great time to still work with my dad and do something completely new. After school, I left San Diego and my father continued the business till 2008 when he retired. Hair had always been in my life, Growing up in the south I used to see my grandmother doing our neighbors hair in the kitchen. Another neighbor down the street, Mrs. Otha May, owned a beauty parlor and her and her husband Mr. Willie used to let me sweep up and listen to them chat. I heard lots of interesting conversations as a kid and these are some of my best memories. My Dad was also a hairstylist, but during the 80s in San Diego when it was all about big hair and big parties. He and my stepmother were the owners of West Coast Beauty Salon. They hosted the West Coast Beauty Trade Show in San Diego and owned a beauty supply store. They were in my eyes the coolest parents ever, they were fun, stylish, and every day was a party in the salon. With their Miami Vice outfits and shoulder pads they were living the 80’s hair dream. After my dad retired and after several long discussions with my father, I along with my best friend and business partner Brian Moses returned to San Diego and began the process of reviving Affordable Salon Equipment Repair. One by one we contacted our old customers and rebuilt our presence in San Diego.
