A few weeks ago my daughter had her 8 year-old birthday party.  Imagine my surprise showing up late for the party and finding my house full of girls.  Fortunately I have a lot of girls of my own 7 of them 4 older and 3 younger with 1 son bringing up the rear.  The 4 older girls had volunteered their afternoon to put on a salon party for my 8 year old daughter and all of her friends.  They had set up salon stations all over the house doing pedicures, hair, crafts and manicures.  It was something else I tell ya.  Nothing could have been more fun.

For those people who don’t have four older children to do the dressing up and, well for those who don’t really want to turn their home into a mad house anyway, you can still have a party like this at a Shear Madness Franchise location near you.

Shear Madness Franchising of Overland Park, Kansas is a creative and fun company providing Salon Services, “Youniquey Boutiquey”, and parties for youth ages 3 to 13.  What a unique way to have fun with your children or grandchildren.

For Franchisee’s, Shear Madness Franchising provides a wealth of training, ongoing support and other services to help those franchisee’s be successful.  Just this week they made an agreement with Internet Business Consulting Services Corporation to develop an intranet for their franchisees.  This tool will help the Franchisees keep their Shear Madness location stocked with fun items for the children visiting them.  It also provides internal communication for the franchisee’s.

Originally this project was going to be done using Joomla or Magento, but after closer evaluation of the project, it shall be done using A custom Cake PHP Code. Cake PHP will allow the site to be customized to meet the intranet and various user group requirements to manage users at the franchiser location as well as the various user types at the franchise location.  Some of the features in the custom Cake PHP project include a rolling blog, shopping cart to see and order vendor products from over 30 vendors, notes and eventually a document management system for training franchisee staff.

We look forward to watching Shear Madness Franchises grow, and for a franchise near us.
