Cuts & More Cuts

The after Christmas break brought in a large crowd today. I was surprised due to the cold weather. But alas so many in need of services. I did mostly cuts today. It's enjoyable to have the opportunity to get practice on REAL people. As a matter of fact it's been quite awhile since I've worked on my mannequin. Keeping busy is a good thing, makes the day go by so much faster.

I do wish that more of the students would be more motivated to attend school.

How could I forget: today I clipped out the Worst Weave Ever!! Please pass on to all friends and family your weave needs to be well maintained! If you get a weave get a professional or if you must someone who knows what they are doing. Ask for referrals pictures and so on. Please make sure they are using BROWN thread if you have BLACK hair. This helps when cutting out your weave! And if you go to a Beauty School to have it removed; tips are accepted!! Now don't get me wrong tips are not required but just because we are in training does not mean we are not knowledgable. You want me to take the awful mess out and plan on going to your stylist tomorrow!! SMH

If you do a weave sew neat braid well. Instruct client on best way to maintain and upkeep! Follow up appointments are necessary.

Vacation is Over!!

Glad to have the break. Back to setting up my station at school. Flat Iron cleaned & ready to go. Anticipating what the first ticket will be? Only the weather knows!

Guadalupe!

She is gone. Sniff sniff.....

Styles by Retha!

Today at school, style n' cut. This is a cut, perm & roller set. Another busy day under my belt. Counting down the days. Looking forward to the holiday break. ;)

Really?

I know we have been quite busy at school due to some any students out sick with the flu.

It does give the rest of us the opportunity to work alot harder. Experience is the best of all teachers. I'd still rather do a client instead of working on my mannequin. But it just unnerves me when others do less than acceptable work. Really, what are your guys thinking about?
The, I just don't care is getting to be a bit much.

Most of this stuff you are doing will not fly in the real world.

I'm wondering if they realize the habits you are forming now will carry over with you at work.

Sorry to say, I would not want to work in a salon with you.
I would not hire you, I would not give you a good reference.
I would not want you to work on my hair or any of my friends or family.
It's not acceptable behaviour; at least in my book.

One thing I have learned at school: How Not To BE.

We are having a Winter Break over the Xmas Holiday. I'm looking forward to the time off, I think it's well deserved.

Another Graduation

TLetha is gone; she will be missed.
Congrats.

I'm so glad I talked them into stepping down a few steps, the lighting in this area at school is horrible for pictures. (my photographer side)

Pin Curls & Waves

I did this today at school. Working in the Dispensary; I had time to work on styles on between duties.

Received my Vintage Hair Style book in the mail! Lots of styles to try.
