WOW this week has been chalk full of blessings! Not only did I find out I will be assisting Damien Carney, "one of the most accomplished hairstylsits of the last 20 years" according to Ukhairdressers.com, on May 8 near my school for a show. I also was able to help sell Retail (dermalogica mostly) all day and learned so much more about how to sell products and jump out of my comfort zone! It was a phenonemal experience and I feel much more confident in my experience of product sales!
This morning Congressman, Ben Quayle came and spoke at our school and talk to us about issues that directly affect us, our education, potential small business owners and the defeceit we are going through as a country. It was wonderful to hear someone who is able to make a change speak about what he is doing to protect us as aspiring professionals.
Following that we watched a documentary called 'I'm Not Just a Hairdresser' produced by Vivienne MacKinder. It was about woman who are in the hair industry and have made it BIG. They talked about how it is harder for women to make it in the industry because women prefer Men hairdressers. My personal opinion is because women are so catty and hard to trust often and that makes me want to be more warm and welcoming to every women who sits in my chair.
I was brought lunch my the bf and followed that with a dear friend getting highlights and bringing me Starbucks too! At the end of the school evening and last night of zone 4 out of 6, I found out I won the retail prize which contains our awesome new 'Shine On! Spray! Needless to say I'm pretty pumped and have found this week to pretty great. I adore what I do and some times we just need little reminders why we are doing what we are. Today was one of those days!
OH and just found I am a Honorable Mention at the PBA'S Beacon Student conference in August.
Now off to the gym for some strength training before heading home to crash on my pillow.
I will post pictures this weekend too!
