Been a minute...

I know I haven't been keeping up on my blog. Sundays are my only entire day off with no work or school and so blogging really has been last priority. However, I have something new in the works and will post info as it becomes more solidified. Please be patient.

I've been writing scholarship essays, working on a design for a color contest, and my world is still full of hair!

July specials at my school coming soon.

An amazing journey still...

Completely honesty here, I've been very frustrated at school lately. I understand why certain regulations are in place, but in this instance, these worksheets are geared towards students who attend day classes and I honestly feel we in night school are getting shafted. Rather than get into gross details, I need to address my issues with our Future Professional Adviser and express my concern. I know absences in March have been solely my issue, however there seems to be no way out of my situation, so I need to discuss options. Needless to say, I've had a bad attitude about school and THAT HAS GOT TO STOP. I am working towards an incredible future and I need to keep that as my focus.

So some good things lately...

I am working an awesome job now in a salon in guest services. I took a HUGE chance in applying for this position because the ad clearly said, in all caps, do NOT apply if you do not have salon reception experience. Well, recently I saw a news clip on the Today show on NBC about taking chances to make yourself stand out from the competition when applying for jobs. So, I wrote a kick-ass cover letter, included a picture of a cat on a limb (making a pun on my name, Kat) and expressing my interested and my ability to be a wonderful addition to their staff because I am a cosmetology student. IT WORKED! The next day after emailing my resume and cover letter, I was called for an interview. In the two weeks leading up to the interview, I stressed about hair, make-up, clothing and all the stress paid off. I had a great conversation with the owner and started last week. All I can say is, take chances, they will pay off!!

One other great thing, well, two really... B & I travelled to St Louis in late April so I could attend the Education Pass day with Jason Reyes at the Paul Mitchell School there. While I experienced some negativity (why is travelling for education such a foreign concept?), meeting the guy I consider my inspiration in the Paul Mitchell world was AMAZING! Jason really shows a passion for the industry and had some wonderful things to say about what it takes to be successful. I feel blessed that this opportunity was afforded to me.

Nails Pin It!

I'm a week late, but my day full-time job has been insane since it's tax season, so my apologies.

This week I wanted to feature some really cool nail techniques but a great news bit was shown on my local NBC news station and I wanted to provide a link to it:


Gel nail polish: Are you getting what you pay for?

I found this to be fascinating because I used to have the ability to grow my nails really well naturally. Ever since getting a shellac/gel manicure in OCTOBER, my nails have been weak and not growing like they used to.

So honestly, I'm just asking you to consider your options wisely.

Short & sweet, I've got another post coming later tonight!
