'Graduated' Core!

Sorry I've not blogged in a while but I have a great excuse- I am busy! :) The first 6 weeks of the Paul Mitchell program is what they call "Core", and awesome news- I passed! & Will be moving on to Protégé for the next two weeks, then I'll be in Adaptive until I've been in school about 800 hours (half way done). I think the week I didnt blog we did hair cutting, then we did spa week, then this past week was our floor test and written test. Hair cutting week was CHALLENGING. There's much more to haircutting than you could imagine. We had to do a men's cut and that... that was difficult for me. First we used the clippers (in my mind it's an electric razor thingy ma jig.) then we used scissors over comb. Tomorrow at school we had to find a male model to cut their hair!! THANKFULLY THO-It's not a test! I'm relying on a friend's friend to come. If he doesn't show up I will have to literally go outside and try finding a guy!! Please do not let that happen to me......... Okay so then we had Spa Week. Really calm, relaxing week. We did manicures on each other, gave each other facials (lying on the table in the dark with candles all around, and soft music) it was the real deal and felt amazing!! We did waxing on each other. I didn't want anything waxed for real so I let Jennay wax all my fingers, and I waxed her arm in a few spots! It was really funny because girls were waxing their eyebrows THEMSELVES and also their "mustaches". It was so funny and we all had too much fun dealing with wax! We did makeup this week too, I loved that. I gave Emilia a mini makeover  and she looked AMAZING! I think I did a pretty good job at makeup. Once we have 500 hours we can join the Design Team at school, they do some REALLY cool stuff like makeup/hair at fashion shows and I can't wait to get involved. Pictures will surely catch you up on what I've been doing.

Today I am suppose to color Preslee's hair a dark brown or something- I'll try to remember to take before & after pictures!
