NEW hair

So at work (I work at a hair salon) my boss asked me to cut his hair so I did and he was happy. Then he says he wants to cut my hair so I'm a bit worried because I don't want to touch my hair. So he says he wants to change my whole hair and style and I'm freaking out and I don't want but he does it anyway. He cut my hair and gave me full bangs.. I'm still trying to get used to it. I have had side bangs for a few years and I am not used to a straight bang. I like a full bang but I didn't really like it for me but anyways what's done is done.... I have bangs now and I totally look like GaGa lol! I will put pix eventually!

I graduated!

On Saturday, June 12th I graduated from Hairdressing school and officially got my diploma!

Graduation!

Tonight I will be attending my graduation party for graduating Hairdressing school! The time went by so fast and I am so glad that I am graduating. I will take pix of my diploma when I get it :)

Working finally!

I haven't really worked are real job in a while, not since I used to work for the big factory I worked at last year until I was laid off in August 2009. Then in October that is when I started hairdressing school and since then I haven't worked.

Well this week I had my final exam on Tuesday. And I spoke with my teacher who is also the owner of the school and told her I would like to work there to do clients. She said that is ok because I am very good and she knows. I began on Wednesday and continued on until today and now I am off Sunday, Monday Tuesday and will continue again for Wednesday.

I will be working Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday of every week from 9:30am until 2:30 pm.

The money is really bad because I only get 50% of whatever i make and the prices are really low because it is a hairdressing school. But I am doing it to gain experience.

It is just me who is working because my class is gone because we finished. The new class is there but they are only halfway through their course so they are not allowed to do clients.

It is very busy and since it is only me it gets very hectic. I am running around all day and I have no time ever to take a lunch or a break or even sit down for a minute or go to the bathroom or anything. I am even getting stuck staying later some days because there are so many clients to do.

On Fridays it is a bit better because some students came to help out with the clients. Fridays are usually the busiest days there so I am lucky that i am not alone. And this girl from the new class comes in and I have her be like an assistant to me to help me wash the clients hair, kind of like how I started out when I was helping out the hairdresser that used to work here. She just quit about 2 weeks ago because she had a fight with the boss and found a new job so that I why I can work there.

I am like kind of in charge I guess. And on Saturdays I am usually going to be all alonee. Today was my first time being alone. They gave me the keys and everything so I could open up and close. It wasn't very busy. I only had 2 clients because I think a lot of people probably think that we are closed on Saturdays so yeah.

But anyways I am off to a good start. I will relax the next few days before I go back to work because it is pretty exhausting stuff but I am getting used to it :)

Barbering

So we did our barbering all week. I really am getting the hang of it. I finished my cut and it came out amazing. My teachers loved it and they want to keep my doll! LOL so I'm very happy :)

Barbering

This week we started barbering. It is pretty hard because it's a lot different than hairdressing. You hold the scissors and comb pretty much the opposite way than you would normally hold it. So it's taking a bit of getting used to but I think I am getting the hang of it. It is very good to know how to do both men and women so I want to do this well.

Today's Work

Today I made $10 doing a wash and blow dry at school... so I'm pretty happy. I know it's not a lot of money but it's the thought that counts. The lady gave me a $5 tip! So that's pretty cool, and the other $5 was has of the blow dry money because you get to keep half of what you do.
I also applied bleach to the roots of my teacher's client because he wants me to practice but he said I didn't do a good job after so I was pissed off but I mean last time I did that client, I did all the work and she doesn't even give me a tip and gives him all the money... so I mean yeah I should care and want to do a good job but at the same time a part of me doesn't care because why should I do all of his work for him while he gets the money and doesn't give me any... so yeah I mean it's not like I did a bad job intentionally. I did my best and apparently he didn't like it so that's too bad... better luck next time I guess.

Today's Hairdressing

This is what I did in class today. We were experimenting with fashion colors so I was trying out purple. It's really hard to see in the pix but I added in purple to my dolls and it came out really nice.
