Wonderful people

I wanted to start this blog off by saying there are a lot of wonderful, interesting people out there to meet in the salon. Where I work we see the entire spectrum of sizes, shapes, colors, sexual preferences, gender presentations, religions, disabilities, economic status, employment status...you name it, we have it. And it's wonderful. On any given day I will see everything from a sassy 70 year old to an uber-intelligent teen. I get hugged, high-fived, smiled at, thanked, blessed, kissed (on the cheek - don't worry dear wife), made fun of (good naturedly of course) - you name it. All the while making good people feel even better about themselves.

And even though I don't always see people at their best, when they leave, they do so feeling a little bit better.

Being a hair stylist is not a job, it's a joy. And I can not tell you how grateful I am to get up and go to that playground I call work every day.

And now that out of the way, I will begin my daily (hopefully) ritual of talking about my day. Understand my work week is Tuesday through Saturday (oh how I love Mondays). So check back here on Tuesday for your first glimpse into what it's like to live the life of a stylist.
