Reflections

Ok, I wasn't going to blog about this but you all know already how fabulous I am, so why not...

Last week a topic came up between the owner of the salon and I. And she was saying how she thought so-n-so (we'll say Sally) was the greatest hairstylist that ever walked the planet and then she goes on to tell me how I spin circles around "Sally". WOW! Man... that is just huge...

(insert hairstylist technical mumbo jumbo here)
She was saying how it was awesome that I can do blonde highlights and I never have to tone them, they always look the blonde that I want without all this added effort. And "Sally" has to tone each and every one of her blondes and she's never once seen me do it... She just kept going on and on about how great of a hairstylist I am.... WOW... That just really made my day.

I look at my work and say "Yeah, that looks good but I could have done this differentor better..." But when some one who you have alot of respect for says that you are a much better stylist than this other one you have alot of respect for. That's just cool...

Also, some things have changed at work for the better... The receptionist left (that's not the good part) The owner doesn't want to hire a new one right now and she knows that I am struggling to build a clientele. So I am going to be handling alot of the receptionist duties. Which means I have to show up earlier, close out the money drawer from the night before and get the salon ready to go for the day and help the owner and manager with anything else. I am now 3rd in command of the salon. She will hire someone when my books fill up and I have too many clients to do both jobs.
