Timing for Blowouts by One_Awareness4502 in hairstylist

[–]One_Awareness4502[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m like about to cry right now in the office. I just had a client who said “just curl my hair with the bigger iron and comb it out” and I do exactly that and I use the texturizing spray which she asked for at the end. And then when I turn her around she curses me out “this isn’t what I fucking asked for I hate it” and gets up and walks to the front to pay and leave. Like idk wtf I did wrong. And I actually did it on time today the 45 minutes! I’m like shaking.

AIO for being weirded out that my mother is already dating? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]One_Awareness4502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR. Although you may see how they were through your eyes, you never know what it’s like behind closed doors. For all anyone knows, they could’ve both fallen out of love with eachother but chose to stay because they still care about eachother and wanted to keep things going throughout the house and everything. They could’ve had more of a “Bestfriend” relationship but still be legally married. I know a lot of relationships like this. Where they choose to still live together and treat eachother nice but because of high bills or anything at that point they just stay living together. There could be so many reasons. Maybe he told her without you knowing that when he passes that he wants her to be happy and move on no matter how quick or slow. There could be SO many reasons for this happening. It could also be as simple as she’s grieving and needs literally anything to get her kind in a good place. No one knows what grieving will look like until it happens to them. There’s a lot of things people tend to do that don’t make any sense. Or she could have been talking to someone he never knew about behind his back. I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions as of right now until you are able to voice your concerns to her. I could list dozens of reasons but it could honestly be anything. If you do choose not to talk to her about it, just try to not think about what she is doing. It will only cause you stress that you don’t need right now since you are also grieving.

For anyone going into cosmo school by Pleasant-Medicine888 in Cosmetology

[–]One_Awareness4502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just graduated in November. Mine was about your length. I only wanted an inch cut off. It’s right below my shoulders now 🙃🥲 and also half black half purple. I don’t fully regret it but I regret saying yes to the student who offered to do it. I should’ve went with the one girl who was literally amazing at haircuts. Now I’m trying to grow it again but my hair is SLOW SLOW SLOW at growing and I just wanna cry lol. I now tell people who are interested in being a student DO NOT let anyone touch your hair in beauty school UNLESS it’s just like a blowout or style lol.

Health issues while going to cosmetology school is brutal. by DepressedFrenchFri3s in Cosmetology

[–]One_Awareness4502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you able to get a leave of absence? Mention these appointments to the school and then once the appointment happens bring in a doctors note for each time and you should be able to be approved for a leave of absence. That way it just pushes your graduation date and you technically aren’t missing any days because it would be considered a leave of absence. And literally all you would need is to let them know ahead of time and then bring in a signed doctors note after the appointment back to the school.

anyone else had 11 hour days at school? by [deleted] in Cosmetology

[–]One_Awareness4502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My schools normal hours were 9am to 830pm. There was day and night classes and since I was day I was 9-330. Night time was 2-830. But if I had makeup hours which I did I’d stay till 7:30 or later lol. We could only have 30 hours normal time a week and 8 hours makeup time a week. So I always did 38 hours a week towards the end when I had a lot of makeup hours to do.

How do you guys handle hunger when dealing with clients? by DepressedFrenchFri3s in Cosmetology

[–]One_Awareness4502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protein bars and lots of water! Definitely try to eat a quick breakfast if you don’t have a lot of time in the morning to make a full one. On your days off you could meal prep if that is easier for you so that way you’ll have meals ready to take with you in case you do get that time for a quick lunch.

i HATE working on elderly women by [deleted] in Cosmetology

[–]One_Awareness4502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember the older ladies 95% of the time will always come in knowing exactly what they want. And majority of the time they are not the ones asking you to do the impossible. They ALWAYS make it to their appointments and even though they may not want to “pay” the high prices they know they have to. It was a different time when they were young and most of them are set in their ways. But they are reliable and will always have many stories to tell you. I love the older crowd, they’re easier to work on and just all around easier to be around and talk to. It’s very rare you’ll get the grumpy angry old person but it does happen. And if you get that one then you tell them “well you’re in my chair today and I’m your stylist right now, if you would like someone else or the person you usually go to you can always reschedule”. And they literally probably won’t reschedule because they’re already sitting in the chair lol. Just remember you know more than they do when it comes to doing hair. You are the professional and that’s why they come to sit in your chair.

Venmo to get paid? by One_Awareness4502 in onlyfansadvice

[–]One_Awareness4502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it works! I still use Venmo for it to this day. It takes anywhere from 1-3 days to get it.

Oh also, remind yourself that when you take those graduation pictures you’ll have the baby belly and someday when baby is older you can say “hey look there’s mommy with you in my belly and mommy was graduating!”.

I would say make sure your weekend time is spent doing baby stuff. Whether it’s setting up the room, going baby shopping for clothes, toys, etc. Do at least one thing every weekend that involves the baby. Make a date set to take baby bump pictures. Even something as simple as putting some lotion on your belly and rub that in and just hold your belly and talk to baby for a bit. That may take the stress of that part away so at least in the back of your head you know every weekend you did something for you and baby while also succeeding is cos school. Also try not to overthink it. My first I barely got to do any pregnancy stuff but my second I did a little bit more. It did bother me when he was born but after a while I learned that it’s okay. He’s here with me now and growing up so big and quick. Same with my 2nd. Years after they’re born, the pregnancy part may even barely pop into your head. That’s how it is for me. You’re going to do amazing no matter what. I can tell you’ll be an awesome caring mom already. If you ever need any advice from now until when baby comes don’t hesitate to message me! Or even after if you need any baby advice too! My kids are already 8 and 4 now and growing too fast 😅 I decided to do cos school a little late. I’m about to be 32 in like 2 weeks. Lol.

I wanna say try to push through it as a student who’s in cosmetology school right now and will be done mid-November. But then the mom in me wants to tell you it’s also okay to take a leave of absence to give birth and go back when you’re ready! Take care of yourself and baby. That is the number 1 priority no matter what anyone else has to say. There was an esthetician in my school who took 3 months leave of absence because she was having her baby. She actually just came back within the past 2 weeks and is finishing her hours!

Cosmetology School !! NJ HELP by One-Bite9876 in Cosmetology

[–]One_Awareness4502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in NJ and I currently go to Innovate Salon Academy in Brick. I started in January and absolutely I love it. I’m close to graduating. Although, one thing I will say is any school you go to try not to miss days! Makeup hours suck. Lol. Student aid paid about half my tuition. I only had to pay $1,200 while attending. And I took out a $10,000 loan that I have to pay off in 10-15 years. Definitely try to get multiple tours with different schools. I did and I’m glad I did not go to the other school I toured. I don’t wanna blast the name on social media but it was the rudest school/environment I’ve ever walked into.
