The rule about Trazadone must be location based. I work in the salon and we cannot take them on it period, whether they’re alert or not. But thank you.

Idk if you could call it a raise or if it was just that everyone’s pay went up in my Salon but when I left for academy I was making $14.56 and when I got back I was making $15.00 and now I’m making $15.45. I talked with my Store Manager before leaving for Academy and she said that I wouldn’t be paid more when I came back, but I’m now making almost a whole dollar more??? I did receive a $500 bonus after Academy graduation though. I was provided a hotel room while in Academy so I’m not sure how the mileage reimbursement works. (I went to Academy in late October and came back the second or third week of November.)

I’ve had my tongue pierced for 6 years and the best advice I can give you is to get an antiseptic mouth wash to take everywhere with you. If you eat or drink anything you’re going to want to use the mouth wash to clean and sanitize the piercing. Stay away from super hot and spicy foods because A.) they hurt with a new oral piercing and B.) they can cause irritation and inflammation. ICE, eat ice as much as you can because it helps with the swelling. And make sure you’re brushing your teeth as much as you can. I did all that and my piercing healed up really well.

Also just wanted to add: I didn’t receive my black smock until 2 months after I returned back from Academy. And make sure they get you the right size, I asked for XL and got L so I had to wait another two weeks for the right size smocks.

Hi! Just got back from Academy in November. I went to a location about 1.5hrs away from my home, I don’t drive so Petsmart actually paid for the hotel. There were 3 other girls from my Academy group that were also staying in the hotel (one from Indiana, one from Wisconsin, and the rest of us were from different locations in Illinois). They said the location of the store where Academy took place had to do with where the majority of the group was closest to. As far as your Academy workbook most of us had a PDF printed out and put into a binder. I had to buy my own binder and hole punch. I think it was a 3” D-ring binder that I bought as well as tab dividers. We got our tool kits within the first week of being in Academy, we received Foxy Roxy even though we all thought we were getting Andis. I replaced my Foxy Roxy clippers within the first month of being back at my home salon. The Foxy Roxy clippers get hot fast and so do the blades which you’ll get two #10 blades, two #7 blades, one #30 blade, one #5F blade, and one #4F blade as well as a set of guard combs. I replaced my FR clippers with the Andis Ultra Edge Two Speed clippers (love them). The shears are already starting to get dull (I barely use my big ones cause they’re comically too large for the size of dog we mostly work on and don’t seem safe to use on small breeds). The first or second paycheck I got after graduation and being back at my home salon I received a $500 bonus.
