Life as an assistant - Back to the day to day...

Well hello everyone! So nice to be back. It has taken men a minute to get back into the groove of things and to be honest I think I have had a writers block. But now that things are looking up and starting to roll a bit I happy happy to say there are good things to come!

First off I am back in a salon 3 days a week. It is in Culver City and it's a small yet awesome place to work. I am able to bring in ANY kind of client 2 days out of the week (So start booking your appointments now!!!!). I can bring in cuts, color, highlights, brazilians, keratin treatments and extensions. It has been a blessing being back to work. I must admit I do miss working on the film and my SEG family but there will be more to come!! Our clients at my new salon are very interesting mix. All have been really easy and nice. There are still a couple that have left me laughing a little on the inside. We have one older woman who is sweet as can be. She comes in weekly and uses it as a social experience. She takes about 15 minutes to blow out her little puff of hair but she stays for hours just to talk to people. She had me standing there for 35 min just to tell me about how she is having a procedure done and always wear sun screen. There is another older woman who has no issue telling me what she does and doesn't like. For example when I shampoo her she tells me if I do something good or if something "doesn't feel good". I start to feel like a puppy after a while. "GOOD DOG, BAD DOG, STAY, SIT". I can see it all now... I imagine my face looks something between confused and....



Well needless to say I am sure I will have plenty of stories to come but so far I am really enjoying this new home.

As for the rest of the good news. I hooked up with a production company who is going to start feeding me work which is always a bonus. I was offered the possibility to go to Colorado for the entire month of Sept and be head stylist on a film. However it sadly got pushed so maybe one day that will happen.

I know I still owe you all some photos and I promise to upload them soon. I'll keep the stories coming and as always until next time...
