Brian Machon starts his work day by packing a bag, jumping on a train and ringing doorbells.
He is greeted with handshakes, kisses, hugs and hellos.
At 45, Machon has been practicing his craft for over 20 years and has spent much of that time in his clients homes. His customers come from diverse backgrounds and he often develops close personal relationships with them.
Machon's own family lives in Copenhagen Denmark, where at the age of 16, he left home because of an abusive step-father.
"I hated being home. I always hated being home. I always hated him," says Machon.
After finishing school, Machon left Denmark and moved to New York City where he slowly generated the business he has today.
Then three years ago, Machon felt a pain in his chest. The doctor said he was two to three weeks from a major heart attack.
This close call raised questions, specifically about his biological father, a man he'd never met. Machon wondered if he also had heart disease, and if so, what other diseases he might need to be prepared for.
He also thought it might just be interesting to meet him.
Machon has watched his clients' families grow, and he has grown close enough to many of them to develop lasting friendships that extend beyond his role as their hairstylist.
His clients ask how his health is, and if he wouldn't mind changing a light bulb before he leaves. He listens to to their confessions, makes dinner, and helps their kids with their homework.
"They become like my extended family."

Eyeliners, Scissors, Pens - I put them all in this thing. Too lazy to throw trash so I just recycled the Ritz container. Haha.

The perfect day for fooling around with a pair of scissors... Muahahaha :)
Our Daily Challenge ~ MINIMALISM is the topic for Wednesday Oct 3. 2012
Oct SC # 11 Scissors, shears and/or secateurs are to be the focal point
I quite liked these scissors, until they fell apart in my hand the other night while trying to use the round toothy bit to try and open a particularly stubbon soft drink bottle.
And then while taking this photo I notice that my light stand is broken. aaarrgh. I'm expecting my computer to release its magic smoke any minute...
The 1/250s shutter speed is actually on purpose today (yesterday was an accident, oops...) as I need to make the flash go into FP mode or whatever they call it. Normally it's way too bright even at minimum power @ f/2, but it's usable if I dial in a shutter speed faster than the max sync of 1/200s :)
