When you love something as much as I do, you will go to the ends of the earth to make sure that you learn and study everything you can about it.  I have been a licensed hairstylist now for 5 years and every day is a new learning experience and a challenge.   Many people think that a hairstylist learns everything in school. That is VERY, VERY wrong. The real education of a stylist comes with their first job behind the chair.  We learn the basics in school; it’s kind of like learning you ABC’s.  It is up to us to continue to grow and learn more.  Ask any celebrity hairstylist, or top stylist and they will tell you everything I just said.

Why am I telling you this, you are probably thinking?  On Monday, April 29, I took my skills to the next level at a hair show in Orlando FL, called The Taming of the ‘Do at the Shakespeare Theatre.  It was there that I learned the latest trends and techniques that I will use in my career.   Have you ever heard of a Texture Reformation? Maybe you remember it as a perm.  How about a texture reformation wrapped with pot scrubbers? Yes, POT SCRUBBERS.  That was the coolest thing I ever seen in my life.  Or a 4 strand braid up style? The latest cutting techniques?  With so much more to learn and share with others, I will never stop learning.

When I go to a show like that, it reminds me why I became a hairdresser.  My dream is to be a hair guru.  I love hair and even though I have only been doing this for 5 short years, I know my goal is right ahead.
