🤯 Wow it has been years!

🤯 

 Hello! 

I was checking my website on a host supplier! And I noticed views on an old one(domain/host) I had neglected for quite some time, and asked myself, "why is this one getting more views?" And low and behold, it's linked to this blog, which has also been sorely neglected for even longer! So long so, that I forgot even when I had placed my blog link on that site. 

Well a lot has happened!

Going back to my last post HERE in 2021! 😂 

I did an online course to learn Classic lash extensions. And then I got my certificate, and posted that. Since then, I have been at 3 different places to work at(doing hair only) and Well in-between jobs a few times I also ended up at a Walmart for a few months as a cashier! I ended up developing Tendonitis as a cashier ..Not as a hairstylist...Which I found extremely odd. I left Walmart for a hairstylist job, was there for about 2 years, left for a better paying job ...

Oh I am getting a head of myself, while I was at the job after walmart, I went back to school for a few months for Lashes and Brows, became certified AND Licensed! So I can do both professions Legally. 

Then the better paying job, that also had the opportunity of doing all the services I am trained/licensed in. I was laid off there after a few months, was out of work for a few weeks, and got another job somewhere else. With little pay/full time hours on commission, commission is only good if you are BUSY, which I was not, and I will tell you, working full time hours with not being busy = very low pay. So work 30-35 hours per week and if you don't sell products nor do any services, you have little to no pay. Finshed there.

That was 3 months ago, and I am still looking for work. And we're back to today. That was short and sweet, I thought it would have been a longer post, I guess that's it for now! Hopefully I don't get neglectful again and leave this behind for more years. 

Have a great day/week/month/year!

Oh yeah I also have a Etsy shop I don't remember if I added it here on the blog or not! I will have to do some snooping around and see what I may have put here! 

I love being a hairstylist!

The great thing about being a hairstylist, is, most people are kind and talk to you like you are their friend and they feel like they can tell you everything that is going on with them!

It is a very personal experience for them, so you have to be good to them, make them feel important, don't treat them like they are just a bank deposit. I hate it when hairstylists do that...and trust me, there are those kind out there! SADLY!

Everyone gets their hair done, whether they do it themselves or go to a salon, or have a stylist come to their home! But the most important thing to remember is that, everyone who has hair, is also an individual, they are a person, so personalizing their visit keeps them coming back! It isn't just about the job, or the cash, and to keep them coming back on a regular basis, rather then when they are desperate for a cut and or hair color change(or fix), because sometimes they are there because someone messed up their hair before they came to you!

Sometimes it takes years to find someone you trust with your hair, so realize, it is very personal to them/us! They/We come to you in hopes you are different and won't mess up their/our hair like someone else did!

Don't get me wrong, everyone makes mistakes, and even professionals can create damage or screw up a trim. I hear stories from clients all the time, how they wanted this, but got that instead. Sometimes it is about miscommunication and we don't understand each other. If I am unsure, I don't just start the cut, I try to make sure I understand by asking and if I am wrong on the understanding of what they want or are looking for(their vision of what they expect) then I offer them a magazine with hairstyles and or colors and then we can get an understanding that way! IT IS VERY PERSONAL!

My list of personal rules I keep within myself for this kind of career is:

#1 You can't please everyone! Don't expect to make every person who sits in your chair to be happy with what you do to their hair...some people just can't be pleased, you could think it was your best work and they could turn around and tell others(your friends even) that you ruined their hair or did it wrong, even if you and other's think it looks amazing! Trust, this does happen! Some people are just not happy with anything, hair or life in general. But also stay kind and tell them you tried your best and that you are very sorry they were unhappy with your work. Sometimes even recommend another person to go to!

#2 Don't beat yourself up over mistakes, mistakes happen with everything in life!

#3 If you are feeling harassed, verbally or even physically abused, tell them you don't appreciate being treated in such a way(whatever that way is, say what it is!), that you think they should leave and find someone else to do their hair! If you feel threatened in anyway, you do not have to take it, just because they always pay or always come back. Abuse is abuse no matter what setting! You do not have to put up with it!

#4 Show your appreciation when they are kind, tip well or compliment you in any way! Some people are completely amazing! Tip well, give you gifts because they appreciate your time and hard work, and for giving them what they want! I have had clients hug me after I have done their hair once! Yes, some individuals are so happy with their hair(the personalization I was talking about earlier) that they will literally hug you to show you how happy and how much they appreciate what you have done for them! It isn't just all about the money!

Yet again I didn't expect this to be so long of a blog, but I really wanted to express the importance of personalization in a job such as my own! I love my job and it might have it's ups and downs, but the ups outweigh the downs, because there are some really great people out there and some of them sit in my chair to get their hair done! If you have read all of this, you are amazing too! and Thanks so much for reading to the end!

Have a great day/week/year!

Monday's motivation

Hello everyone, it's Monday so lets start it off with some positivity!

Here are some motivational quotes I had for my self, but I am sharing with you, because keep a positive mind can help make the day start off better! Monday's can be a bit rough at times because you're so used to enjoying the weekend and you have to get back to the jobs, schools and other activities that can sometimes be draining on Monday's when we get back to the routine! Take a moment to yourselves, have some coffee!
