day of rest.

I'm a little behind obviously.
The week went by in a flash of purple lightning!
Good News:
1. I'm now a blonde!
2. We got window coverings and now the crazy people can't stare at me.
that's about it....for the good. I told you people my short term memory is comparative to that of a 92 year old.

Bad News:
1. I am once again on the hunt for employees. (gag)

Hey! I remember something from Saturday. Let's see...I saw a longtime client of mine and we (my mother included) got on the subject of weddings. She told her two daughters that she would give them $10,000 cash if they would elope. I asked if she would adopt me. HA!

Also, on friday I met a yoga teacher. I have several clients who are members of Lubbock Yoga and they absolutely love it. I have officially decided that I am going to become a member also. As many of you know I l.o.v.e. to wear my HIGH heels and sometimes I have lower back pain. I'm only 21. Why is it that I have the back and memory of a 92 yr.old? who knows. So, i'm going to start doing yoga and i'm hoping it will work wonders for me. Body and Mind.

I am also obsessed with Tabatha Coffey and her show on Bravo "Tabatha's Salon Takeover"
maybe that's why I wanted blonde hair.

snoozeday.

tuedays are slow.
but yesterday was actually pretty decent for a tuesday.
got to see a two friends.
did some awesome blonde hair. which i don't get to do very often.
i really do love blondes too.
also had to do a perm. which i don't really love.
but that's ok. money is $money$ right? right.
and i'm constantly trying to perfect my craft so what better way to do that than to switch it up with a perm every now and then. ha.

i'm kind of obsessed with Janine Jarman.

gifts.are.awesome.

I've been absent for a couple of days and to be completely honest my short term memory sucks. But, what I do recall about Friday is that I did some freaking awesome red hair.I love to do red and I think its just because it's one of the harder colors to make look good. I love a good challenge and Sally's hair was definitely a challenge but it looked so rad by the time we were done and i've already gotten some referals for more crazy hair. I also love crazy hair. Alot. 

Saturday was a good day. I know we all have people that get under our skin and I promised I wouldn't talk trash on here so i'm just going to say a few words about a certain someone who will not leave me alone and will not stop being so freaking picky. [AHHHHHHHHH] Ok that's done. 

I also got to do some awesome hair on saturday. More red. Imagine that. Did I mention that I love red hair. LOVE. IT.

 I have this really cool/crazy (in a good way of course) client that makes art in her spare time. She made a picture frame for me that I keep my cosmetology license in and she offered to make a me a mirror as well. I love getting things from my clients. Theres just something so personal about it and it makes me feel so loved appreciated. The pictures above are of the mirror she made for me. It's an old widow that she converted in to a mirror and then glued all of the trinkets on. It is so perfect for my salon. It looks great in the shampoo room. I couldn't have dreamed of a better piece to really finish that room. So, if any of you feel extra fond of me feel free to give me something. HA!

I.

Am.

So.

Cold.

i've turned to ice.

I have clients from all walk of life and today one of the people I saw is an aspiring teacher. She is starting her student teaching in February and I am so excited for the kids that get to be in her class. Nancy(not her real name of course) is such a great mom to her three girls so I know she is going to make a wonderful teacher. Her girls and I have a lot in common when it comes to school. They are going through all the same schools that I did, elementary, middle school, and high school. they have some of the same teachers that I did and I have such a good time talking about their experiences compared to mine. She and I talked a lot about books today and we have a lot in common when it comes to our taste in literature. I am a self proclaimed nerd. I love to read and it was so nice to talk to someone about my nerdy little hobby. I'm currently reading the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay and it's so dark and twisted but for some reason I just can't put it down! For those of you who don't know Dexter is a show on Showtime and it stars Michael C. Hall who is awesome. Dexter is a murderer, but he only kills the bad people and the kicker is he actually works for the police department with his sister and they solve crime together. The books are great and like I said I can't seem to put them down. So, if you're in need of a good crime thriller you know where to look. Nancy recommended that I read "The Help" which I have heard rave reviews about so that will probably be my next venture after Dexter.

Another one of my lovely ladies today was Jony. Jony is a special person, she has been at her job for 30 years and everyone there loves her. I would know because I have some of her co-workers as clients! She told me such an inspiring story about her brother-in-law who has a type of bone cancer. She and her family have been fighting this cancer with him for a long time now and she was telling me about some amazing medical procedures that were managing his cancer and giving him a new lease on life. I love stories like this. I think it's proof that good things happen to good people.

Hello World.

I love my job.

I have been blessed with a great group of clients. They have helped me build my business to what it is today and will continue to make Shear Perfection great.
             It seems like everyday I come home with a new story for my beloved boyfriend...let's call him Max. So, he is the one who encouraged me to blog about all of my salon adventures. I guess we'll see if he was correct in his thinking that other people might enjoy my stories as well! Don't worry people I promise not to trash you too much :) there is only love for you here at SP. We greatly appreciate each and everyone of you great friends who support this business.

            For the sake of my clients i'm going to change names and important details so that nobody will know who i'm talking about!
One of my very favorite people came in this evening. She's had some hard times in her life but she's making the most of what she has now. She has a loving family, a fabulous boyfriend, and a wonderful little boy. I love getting to talk with her because she has an awesome story. Working in the industry that I do I get to be a therapist/gossip friend/shoulder to cry on/mother and it's the absolute best and worst thing about my profession. I love hearing other people's story and what their life is like outside of the small window of time with me. But, sometimes after someone vents constantly for two hours about how crappy their husband/boyfriend/mom/dog is it just leaves me EXHAUSTED!  Not today though not with.......Heidi. She is just full of life and energy and good things that you can hardly stop smiling when you're around her! She loves to crack jokes just like me and we can be so sarcastic with each other that others probably think we are the two most insulting people on the planet, but it's such a good time. She has so much life left to live and hopefully that fabulous boyfriend of hers will ask her a certain question sometime in the near future.

I love days like today. The weather was beautiful and my clients are always entertainment. Just makes me wonder how anyone could sit in a place they hate with people they don't know doing a job they despise.
