Just hit 1000 haircuts in my book and the feeling is weird

I was cleaning up my station last night and decided to count the little tick marks I keep in the back of my appointment book. I started doing it as a joke when I opened my own chair two years ago, just to see how many heads I'd get through. Well, I hit 1000 exactly. It's a big number, but honestly it made me think about all the repeats. Like, maybe 600 of those are from the same 30 guys who come in every two weeks. It's cool to have that steady work, but part of me wonders if I'm getting too comfy, you know? I love my regulars, but I don't want my skills to get stale just doing the same fades. How do you guys balance keeping your regulars happy while still trying new stuff or bringing in different kinds of cuts?

Maybe offer a free style-upgrade slot once a month for your regulars to try something new.

Love that idea. My barber does something similar and it's how I ended up liking a shorter cut I never would've tried.
