Days 57-60

Tuesday:
Every Tuesday we have classroom time. This week Adam gave us a great class on the "Be Nice or Else" book. This is the book that we are reading (on our own time) and it encompasses the "Paul Mitchell way of life". It is a really good book to read! I have gotten through the firs couple of chapters and am slowly reading it. It is great for people who want to own their business. Talks about different way of managing people and that type thing.

Wednesday:
I used PM shines for the first time! My roommate came in and she has VERY dark hair. She wanted red "highlights"...so I had to bleach out her hair first and then apply the 6RV PM shines. It turned out great!!! I am a huge fan! Now I have to learn to cut curly hair and I will be her all time hairstylist!!!

Thursday:
I was able to use another new product this day. Becky, my old roommate, came in for some highlights. She has fairly dark hair and wanted a carmel color...not blonde. This time instead if using DPL and 5 volume (which I have done in the past) I got to use one of our "high lift" colors. It turned out so pretty! This saved me time because I did not have to go back in and tone her hair. It was done all at once :). I think she is very happy!

Friday:
Today Kim (the twin) came in for a haircut. I had told her when I was in CORE that I already knew what style I wanted to put on her. I cut a triangular one length on her (looks like Posch Spice without all the extra layers. This works really well becuase it keeps the hair off her neck, but it is long enough in the front. Plus it is easy and she is pregnant...so anything to make life easier right now. I have attached a picture of her hair :).

Days 51 - 54

(I did not write on the other days...all you missed was review and test taking)
Day 51 - 54: FIRST WEEK ON THE FLOOR!!!
This week was crazy and great all at the same time!!! We were all so nervous to be taking real clients. I will recap the week for you below:
Wednesday:
Robby made an appointment and was my OFFICIAL first hair cut on the floor. I was so nervous! Mainly because I did not want to mess up. It turned out well and he was very happy with it. Right after him I had my first walk-in :). He wanted a very different cutm but it also turned out well. Now I know how to cut "Eurpean" cuts. :).
Thursday:
I had my first women's cut plus a highlight. It took me about two and a half hours to complete the whole process, but it ended up turning out really well. Today I started feeling more comfortable with the whole process. The cut I did was a round one length on the bottom and square layers cut in. Before we moved to the floor we had only "practiced" each hair cut once...so now it is becoming more clear :).
Friday:
I was able to do two women's haircuts. One was a round one length with round layers and the second was a square on length with square layers. So I definitely got some good practice. I will have to take some pictures next week and post them for you.
I am already filling up for next week...so it should be a good second week!!!
