Hello you.
So last week was one of the best for me.
Wednesday I spent the day driving around town to every Gadabout with Megan and Jana to deliver Mother's Day promotions. From now till Mother's Day, if you go into any one of the salons, you'll see the front desk ladies wearing pink scarves for the occasion, and those scarves will be recycled and used for later months (i.e. breast cancer awareness month) just as another step in "going green."
Thursday I spent the day at the River/Campbell location with Frank, because thursdays are the one day a week that he cuts hair, so you can imagine how hard it is to get an appointment with him. I wasn't actually allowed to touch any hair, because I'm not certified in any way to, but he walked me through some of the steps and kept me informed on what he was doing. The hair interns showed me how to mix colors in the dispensary (the color room), and I did end up working a tad bit up at the front desk checking guests in. At the end of the day Frank asked me what the most important thing was that I had learned that day, and I was like "umm to have fun?" He said the most important thing was to love what you do. He loves, and I mean absolutely LOVES what he does, and he doesnt consider it to be work, because it really isn't for him. Even just by watching him work, you could see that this truly is his passion. How do you find that? Like how can you be so sure that you'll end up choosing a career that you were meant to be in?
Anyways, I am at the resource center. We have three studio C's to attend this week: One eskimo, The Avett Brothers and Local Natives, so it should be fun.
You know, after having spent 3 months here at Gadabout (yes, 3 because I just had my 90 day review), I am going to really very honestly miss these people. They have changed my life and my outlooks on it so much, and I don't know if I can really thank them enough for it. I think I know what I want for the future, or atleast Im still trying to mold the idea, and that's owning something of my own, and I want to cut hair.
Frank just gave me my first comb kit, with 9 different styling combs for when I get started, and I think I'm gonna cry
