First Day

My first day went great.  The ladies I work with seem really nice and very helpful!  I did 2 men's hair cuts and everything went pretty great.  I did need a little help since men's cuts are my biggest weakness.  I'm looking forward to learning more and its going to be a lot of work and "faking it until I make it".

Yeah for 1st days!

there is hope

Well I was offered a job to day, it not a upscale salon but its a chain salon.  Its a start at least and once I get experience I can go out on my own.  I excited for the opportunities that are ahead for me.  I hope I can gain new clients through this job and new talent.
Also did my Moms hair today.  I hate when it doesn't turn out the way I wanted :(. Oh well learning from my mistakes is how I grow.  Next time I need to make sure to always go lighter then a little dark.  It still looks great thankfully. 
On a different note, while at my parents I also made this great craft project my good friend Michelle posted on her blog.  Its a Weekly Menu, I love how it turned out and I can't wait to start using it next week.

still down

I have my model interview scheduled for my final interview with salon on Saturday.  This is not my top choice but I'm hoping all goes well.  There is something that just doesn't feel right about the salon, but I wont know until I give it a try right?
Went and talked to my instructors yesterday they tried to spread some light but just makes me a little more frustrated with where I am at right now on my job hunt.  At this point its looking more and more like I should just rent a station part time.  I called the Style Bar today, hoping they get back to me regarding there openings and maybe the owner will end up working something out with me. Now its just a waiting game and hope one of the other salons calls me. Tomorrow at least I get to do my .Moms hair can't wait

to many things to think about..

 so today I went on my search for other salon options.  Well that was pretty much a bust, no salons seem to be hiring in this area which is starting to take a toll on my hopes for a job in a great salon.  Being a newb to the industry I guess doesn't help.  Im starting to think that maybe me going back to doing what I know for a while is sounding better and better.  I had my 3rd interview in a salon today also and now I just need to bring in a model for my final evaluation easy enough, but is this the right salon for me? How am I supposed to know until I try it right.. Im just scared right now and I hope I can work through it and find a job that is just right for my skills. Hope tomorrow has better news in store for me.

My List of Shops I visited and are not hiring :(
