Hey all,
Well it’s been a busy few weeks. I have friends in town from London and they came in to get there hair done by me the first day they were here. I had an awesome time cutting their hair and I think they both really liked the result.
That week we started learning highlights and foiling in our theory class. I thought it was a lot of fun. We were supposed to have a test but the test and the supplies got locked in a cupboard that no one had a key for! It was an interesting day to say the least. My birthday is coming up this week so I took the week off of school to spend some time traveling with my friends and celebrating my birthday. Last week my friend and fellow student Sara Hollinger was messing around with my hair and she did it up in this super cute little bow of hair! I am planning on wearing my hair like that when I visit Disneyland this week. So, on that note I will leave you with a photo of my awesome hair bow. I will have lots more to tell and more pics up in the next blog. Until next time, love and peace.
It’s been a good 2 weeks since my last blog. Had some really great guests come in for haircuts last week, my favorite was a girl named Iris. She is a student at UCLA and around the same age as me. We had an awesome conversation while I was doing her hair, we had a lot in common and she was so sweet. I don’t think I have talked so much to a guest ever! We talked about concerts we’ve been to, relationships, family, and a whole bunch of other things. It was really nice to just talk. Here is a picture of her when I was done with her haircut, she liked it a lot and said she would be coming back to me again.
Time Flies!
So I realized the other day that it has been 5 months since I started school. It is kind of crazy to think about. In a month and a half I will be halfway done with school. In other news my class benchmarked for color last week and it went really well. I passed so that means I will be performing color services on the salon floor now. I haven’t had my first color client yet but I am excited for when I do, a little nervous, but excited. We had a written test and then a practical exam. The practical exam was the hard part, but it was over before we all knew it. It was a pretty busy week last week at Aveda, lots of clients and lots of learning. We also got a new instructor last week. Her name is Soozie and so far she is really great. She is very helpful and nice to everyone. I am looking forward to this week’s theory class because our teacher Marisa comes back and we get to start learning about perms and relaxers. This week is also exciting because it is the Peppermint classes first week on the salon floor, so congratulations to them and I hope they have fun. I have become pretty close to most of the students in the peppermint class and it will be nice to have them on the floor right next to our class and we can support each other and have a great time. I am looking forward to what surprises this week might bring but I am looking up, being positive and smiling through it all. The past couple of weeks have been quite emotional for me having to say goodbye to friends and dealing with some other emotionally trying situations but it’s a brand new day and everything is looking wonderful. I am healthy, happy and on my way to a wonderful week at school. Hope you all have a great week as well. Peace.
