Days 35-40

We are nearing our end of "CORE", so we have been reviewing and going over everything we have learned...which is a lot! It is crazy to think I am almost two months into the program. Time has been flying! I am down to two weeks before we hit the "floor" running. I am afraid we are all going to be so nervous on our first day. The adaptive class reassured us that everyone is nervous and it will be ok. I am so excited for it!
Tonight my co-worker George is being very brave and he is my "test subject"...hahaha! We are doing our first set of haircuts on a real person. He should look great! I will take a picture and post it next week :).
Happy Friday!

Day 32, 33 & 34

I am sorry I have been slacking on keeping up with this blog...I will be better :).
This week has been so much fun! All of us were talking last nigt about how quickly you get "used" to everything. For example, the first time we all picked up our cutting shears it was so awkward. Now, they are feeling like an extension of our hands. It is a good feeling :).
Day 32 and 33 we continued to work on our triangle cuts. This time we added in the gradutaion making the cut to look like a "stack". I definitely feel as though I need more practice on this, but I know it will get better over time.
Day 34 we started learning mens cuts. We watched a couple videos and all stared in awe at how they were cut. The people on the videos were doing crazy things with clippers. I will need LOTS of practice to be able to duplicate. I will post a picture of Step one. I am turning Donna into Dan...lol! So far we have only worked on a longer scissor cut. We will continue with the clippers today.

Day 30 & 31

The cutting saga continues. :). We are all really enjoying it! Everything is starting to fit together now that we are learning to cut. We can make FULL hairstyles now :). I am already thinking about what cuts would look good on different family members. The cut that we learned yesterday is the "Triangle one-cut". It can be done at any length. It is the base cut for the very popular stack. I am going to cut Kim's hair like this in June :). It is a very simple style, but looks really good! The back is slightly shorter than the front, so it looks a little more stylish than the other one length that we learned. Tonight we will add the layers...stay tuned for more pics :).
