First Day Jitters...

So today was my first day working at the salon. for the most part it went well. As of yesterday all the nerves started to kick in. And this morning, it was even worse. I get super anxious about things like this. Im not a fan of firsts. So today when i get there i look at my books and i have two mens haircuts, a time where i can shadow how to do gel nails, and then my lunch break. thats it. all within 8 hours. so in the meantime, i clean the tanning beds, do the laundry, clean, clean, clean. not a whole lot to do.

Earlier this week i went out and bought me $400 worth of new equipment for this job. so a lot of money i had to pull out pretty quickly.

Back to work, my first appointment-men's haircut. pickiest guy i know. and he wanted a haircut that i never did in school. not even once. so i use the skills i learned in school to the best of my knowledge. and in the middle of his haircut, my brand new never been used till 20 seconds ago trimmers just give out. break. done. GUH. already frustrated i have to go buy new trimmers i go to get my next appointment. another mens haircut. super chill guy, im scissor cutting the top and the 10 seconds into me cutting his hair with my BRAND NEW NEVER BEEN USED till 10 seconds ago scissors are broken. like they came broken. GUUUUUHH. whatever. then, i had to miss my lunch break to do nails, which is fine, its just the fact that it adds to my day. just my luck. besides that and kinda just standing around awkwardly all day not knowing what to do it was fine. glad my long 8 hour shift is over and am home with my husband. Thank goodness for my husband. grateful im married. i cant immagine coming home after rough days and not being able to go to somebody like Caleb. Thankful for him. I am thankful for this new job even though it was kinda a rough first day. Im looking forward to the weekend, and to go camping with my family. i LOVE doing family ANTHING.

New job!

So i finally received that piece of paper in the mail saying i can do hair...my licence! I got offered a job for the second time and i finally decided to put my big girl panties on and took it. i didnt spend 13 grand for nothin! I still had to go through the interview process and turn in a resume and such. My interview was last thursday and i felt it was great! thanks to my little sister who was my model and let me cut her hair. Tami, my boss hired me on the spot, said i have talent, and was seriously impressed with how well i did for just barely being out of school. She seriously was so kind and made me feel good and pointed out that my talent has brought peoples attention and that its noticed. and that made me feel so good! how often do people underestimate our talents and careers? more than it should. so that was so kind of her to say. I stayed that day for my first day of training, along with friday. normally they make people do 3 days of training, and they are letting me get away with two because they felt i caught on so quickly. another plus! and today, their nail tech taught me and another girl how to do gel nails and i am excited about it! there will only be two nail techs there and im one of them! they taught us acrylics in school but not gel. so i am already expanding my education. So, starting next thursday at 11 a.m. i will officially be a Tami's Salon cosmetologist! YAY!! im so excited! i feel good and proud! and im excited where i got hired. Tami herself is like another mom. so sweet, kind, funny and just makes you feel so good about yourself. and the other girls i have met there seem awesome too. I will be doing everything there such as:
Hair (cuts and color)
Manicures
Pedicures
Gel nails
Tanning
soon to be spray tannning
soon to be eyelash extensions
full body waxing
basic massaging

So a lot of variety to keep it fun and entertaining. And as of right now its only part time so i am still keeping two of my shifts at Big Juds. so ill be working 5 days a week. here goes nothin! :)

mommys day!

happy mothers day to all you wonderful moms out there! i love my mom so much! i could not ask for a better mom. im so grateful to have her as my mom and i seriously want to be just like her someday. i have a love...kinda hate relationship with this day. i love it because moms do deserve a day that is all about them. then again with my jealous issues i have (more than it should) i so badly wish i were a mom to a sweet little babe. hopefully one day ;) i just cant describe the feeling i get about kids and children. but yes. to celebrate, we had a mothers day dinner at my moms house. and where the weather was so nice, we hung outside a lot! we shot bow and arrows for the first time. easier said than done. and just enjoyed eachothers company and enjoyed the weather happy moms day! :)
