YAY for making money!

So its been a few weeks since the salon opened. And sofar, so good! Even though it gets borring just sitting there waiting for a walk in, its worth it when someone finally comes in and I get to make money! And its even better because I love doing what I do! ..so here's a funny story..
My very first walk in at the salon, was this lady who claimed to usually get her hair cut by "Johnathan" in L.A. But she couldn't wait any longer so she had her friend ( who mind you cuts her own hair with a FLOW-B..and her dog's hair too...SICK)cut her hair in her garage. So she just wanted it fixed. No big. Not anything hard. So anyways, she came in and talked to the receptionist and said she would be back in 30 min for her haircut. ..So 30 min goes by and I was super nerveous because she was my VERY first official walk in. Anyways, she comes back and is talking to the receptionist and asks, " Can you make sure that I get someone who knows what they're doing...someone who was been cutting hair for a while now. " So I overhear her saying this and think, "oh great...there goes my first walk in!" but McCall (the owner of the salon,..who is also sometimes the receptionist) walks back to my station and says just loud enough for the client to hear " So you've been cutting hair for about...4 years now right Chelsea??" And I looked at her kinda shocked and said, "....yep...." ( Keep in mind that McCall KNOWS that im brand new and that this is my first walk in ) SO the lady walks back and see's me and says " Oh good! You have long hair, so you know how to cut long hair!" ( like the length of MY hair determines my ability to cut hair...weirdo! ) So the WHOLE time she is sitting in my chair she is asking me all these questions like " so where did you work before this?" "how long have you been working?" and other questions that required me to BOLD FACE LIE to her about. So I pulled out all sorts of answers out of my butt. And it worked. I wasn't happy that I had to lie to her. But it got me a client. She ended up loving her hair and so happy that it was able to be fixed. Infact, the next day I walked to this little restaurant place thats next door to the salon and I saw her in there and she yelled out my name, so I went over to talk to her and she introduced me to the guy she was eating with and said to me, "I love my hair!!" And turns to the guy she is with and says, " This is the girl who saved my hair!! She is amazing!" So I felt pretty good! I thought about telling her "oh and by the way, i havent been working for 4 yearts..infact, you were my very first walk in!" ...but i dont think that would of gone over very well!!!
...long story..but i thought it was funny! Oh...i forgot to mention that the whole time she was in my chair i was thinking to myself "woe unto the liar..."...whoops.
...anyways...today was really good too! i did a walk in men's haircut, an updo and a woman and child's cut! yay! :)

Yay for pictures!

Finally! A new post!

Ok..sorry for slacking on my blog everyone..I will try to keep it as updated as I can.
So here is whats new...I am now officially working at the salon! Its so much fun! And I love that I get to see Veronica everyday! Although, i'm sure that she gets sick of my million questions.
-My car is fixed..it has been for a while now. They had to replace the ignition, which thankfully was still under warranty so it didnt cost anything. ...But just recently my engine light came on..oh boy! But my dad thinks its nothing big.
-I ordered a Paul Mitchell color started kit thing which was supposed to be in last wednesday, but when I called to make sure it was there, they said it didnt come so they had to "reorder" it....my butt..they probably just forgot to order it! So I went out and bought a lot of color to hold me over. Hopefully it will be in this thursday. ...Sofar I have spent a bajillion dollars on color and other product getting myself set up at the salon. That crap adds up fast! But considering how quickly I can make it back makes it not so bad. Veronica has very kindly shown me how I need to keep my reciepts and how to file things. Not to mention, saved my butt when I ran out of color doing Nestor's mom's hair!(i was FA-REEKING out!) I would be SOOO lost without her!! THANK YOU VERONICA!!!!! YOUR THE BESTEST!!!!
....other than that, there really isnt much new. I'll put up a slide show of some fairly new pics...and I'll be better about posting new blogs so people dont flip out on me! haha! ♥ ya everyone!!!!
