Almost 2 months down

What a amazing journey so far. I have really had such a good time. I am coming up on my 2 months of going to school and its been great. Scary thought that in 6 1/2 months, Ill be finished. I have not missed a day, I am so afraid to miss something.

I am learning more and more how Self-Critical I am of myself. It's actually rather sad. I spend the majority of my time, telling myself how bad I am doing. Its something I have to seriously work on, every moment of the day. Being so hard on myself, has given me such low confidence in school. But I think I have finally noticed it and now I can finally work on it. Because its only hurting me more. It is preventing me from being creative and stopping me from really liking what I am creating. I am going into the business or making others beautiful and creating art each and every client. I need to really love myself and think what I do is of worth, before I will ever enjoy my job. So far I am so in love with what I have learned, I just need to work on me on the inside.

I am working everyday to build my confidence to stand up and volunteer to take a client. I never knew how terrified I was of people, as far as doing this line of work. I know for a fact, had I tried this profession earlier in my life, I would of failed. I think I am in the right place in my life now, to really step up to the plate, once I convince myself. I have to remind myself the majority of these people know this is a school and we aren't going to be perfect. Ha, that's my biggest struggle, convincing myself.

Things I have done recently!

Wahhlllaa!

YES, these two outcomes are done by me!!!! Did my Moms hair first. Lightened the 4 sections and then added a teal/green color. Mine was originally going to be the same, but I love the highlights. So for now, No green for me! It was ambitious but MOM was such a big help and encouraged me the whole time. Gotta love learning!!!

Highlights

Did highlighting with foils today and it came ok, not near as good as it should but not bad for my first attempt using the foils!

Fishtail and Bangs

Did my moms bangs and did a fishtail!

First Week

Was amazing!!!! I learned so much. We did our mock board today and I got a 93. I was a wreck the whole time, I felt like I needed so many improvements and I did. But I passed and I cant be happier. I know what to expect now, for next time. This upcoming week is going to Hair coloring and Bleaching, YAY!!!!

Learned how to do a chemical straightening, Soft Perm, aka Jerry Curl, Press and Curl and tons of updo's. Like I learned the fishtail braid. All and all it was a great first week. Stressful at times, but mostly exciting and lots of learning involved.
