My FIRST day in the SALON :)


So today was my FIRST day working in the salon where I am renting a room !
I'll put the link to their FB page HERE if you want to check it out for more pics of the salon and some of the work that the other girls have done/can do ! I'm the only Esthetician there, but the other girls are amazing hair stylists !

Here's a pic of their window decal :)


Anyways, on to my day ! The head stylist was out all day on a field trip with her daughter, so today was not the typical day at the salon. It was quite slow and there were only a few clients who came in ! I did however, get the opportunity to give Tasha [a stylist] a pedicure ! So I did get to make some money and got some practice in my room. I'm realizing that I still need a lot of practice, and that it's true that your education does NOT end when you are done school [it's really when the learning BEGINS]. It took me way too long to complete the service, I'm going to have to start looking at the clock while I perform services to ensure this doesn't happen to a client ! 

I was happily surprised when I was handed the phone, and on the other end was a woman named Charlotte who wanted to book a manicure on Saturday ! YAY my FIRST official appointment ! It was a little odd however, I had no idea how she found out I was even there as it was my first day !

I was also able to give my FIRST complimentary hand massage to a woman named Fay, while she waited for her husband to get his hair cut ! She really enjoyed it, and I was pleasantly surprised & pleased with it too ! I gave her a quick tour of my room and hopefully she'll end up being one of my clients ! 

So all in all, I had a great day ! Great learning experience, getting a feeling for the salon environment and for my room :) I'm so grateful that at such a young age I know what I want to do with my life and I'm on my way to achieving my goals ! Whatever you want to do with your life, whatever your passions are, follow them, do everything you can to make your dreams come true. Even when you're faced with obstacles in your life, focus in and get tunnel vision and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for reading girls :) If you would like to book an appointment you can see my price list HERE, you can send me an e-mail @ theglamlife@live.ca & come join The Glam Life on Facebook HERE.
