For about 12 years now I have run a small business, it has had it ups and downs over the years. When I started it was slow, with long PAINFUL hours of answering phones, and sweeping hair. Then I hit the mother load of all craziness 60hour work week, full time, 6 week waiting list then BAM a family!!! So now I am a part time momma that runs a small hair salon from home, I am still crazy, but only work a normal 20-40 hour work week.
I have always said "I could never do anything but hair." Even if I could do anything in the whole wide world, I would still do hair. Its never the same thing twice, everyday I get to do something new and I get paid to chat. What could be better? I have passion for my job, enjoy everyday, and I love my clients!
Take tonight for example. It is HOT here right now, I am not complaining because we really do not get that many nice days in a row! But all day while slaving away doing hair, I was praying that someone, anyone would bring me a Slurpie, a Iced Something from Starbucks. When I worked in a salon there was always someone going somewhere that was never a problem, and if you wanted there was enough people that you could call and get a delivery company to go and pick it up for you. Oh those were the days....
But anyway back to tonight, I get a text from my last client "Can I bring us beer?"
"Heck yeah you can bring us beer" I reply finally a cold drink!
"I have a new Salsa recipe can I bring it too?"
Ok let me get this straight, you want to bring me beer, and make me a snack!!! Man do I love my job!!!!
So I rocked some hair, had a beer in my kitchen with a client/friend and she made me fresh Salsa, Guacamole, and Mango Salsa and then left me all the left overs. I have no idea what I did to deserve it, but man I hope it happens again! LOL
I have said it a 1000x's "I love my job, and my clients. You spoil me and my family rotten, when you do those little things for me me. I hope when you come for your salon visit you leave feeling that good. I love you all"
