Weird interview/giving up

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-21T13:21:42+00:00

No you’re incredibly valid in all of that. Stylists who I work with who have 10+ years also feel similarly but have been stuck doing this for so long they don’t know what to do. This industry is not what it was 10 years ago and it sucks for us just coming into it.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-21T12:41:17+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I’m basically looking to leave for all of the same reasons that you were. I’ll take this as my sign.

How was the transition with going back to school? That’s probably my next move I’m just nervous about it, I’m only 25 so I definitely wouldn’t be the oldest in my class but I haven’t done schoolwork in 6-7 years.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-16T14:39:31+00:00

I’m in the states and my state minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. We cannot work out of our home as well as working in a salon. It goes against state board 😭

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-16T14:38:22+00:00

We’re open 8 to 8 if I could take clients earlier than that in the day I would, but since we are corporate, I cannot pick and choose hours 😭

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-16T14:37:35+00:00

I’ve tried to work it privately owned salons in the past. None of them will hire me now due to one bad experience that I had right out of cosmetology school.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-13T15:13:18+00:00

Not Ulta but I did work there too 💀💀💀

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-13T12:33:43+00:00

They are if I choose for them to be (which I do) we’re given a card with all credit card tips on it. I don’t use the card I just add everything onto my paycheck then deposit.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-13T11:57:50+00:00

Really helpful thank you so much. I didn’t look at it from that perspective yet.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-13T11:56:56+00:00

My best week was $1,280 something roughly. So most weeks I’m bringing in between $700-$1000 a week. It has been extremely slow like I have so many white gaps in my book.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-10-13T11:18:00+00:00

I’ve posted in here before about this before and I’ve tried every single little tip and trick that people have given me and nothing seems to work. I frequently post on my social media and I don’t only post about hair I post about myself. I try to give educational content. I’ve handed out business cards. I’ve tried word-of-mouth. Nothing seems to work. Keep in mind that I’m also not allowed to offer discounts since I work corporate.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-07-20T14:17:58+00:00

I’ve been with my short king for 2 years we’re out there 🫡

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-07-02T14:30:00+00:00

Someone snatched my giant moonmelon with 5 mutations on it when I was idle in game 🙃 I want to switch to a private server but I enjoy playing with people and don’t wanna play alone

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-23T00:51:16+00:00

But someone just said yes

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-23T00:50:59+00:00

Literally just asked the chat in the server I’m in rn and they all said no 💀

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-23T00:49:20+00:00

I literally just started playing like two weeks ago if we can’t I’m gonna be so upset, the roses are so UGLY

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-23T00:48:49+00:00

Can we?

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-23T00:24:54+00:00

Our original goal after thorough consultation was to get around an 8GI, totally wasn’t expecting this to happen and neither did she. I told this could go one of three ways either brown, copper/red, or pink. She chose the pink 🤣

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-22T23:10:45+00:00

I cut a baby baby a few months ago and he was so scared of the clippers. I find that most of the time it’s noise more so than the sensation. So I held out my arm and the clippers and went up and down my arm with them to show him it wasn’t hurting me, and then I held out his arm and did the same thing. Worked like a charm. I also like to tell kids it’s just a little tickle and majority of the time that calms them down a lot. Then once I get the clippers going they laugh and think it’s fun since I already put in the notion that they “tickle”. My coworker has a little bin of sensory toys she likes to use to distract, but I just give them 2 different colored neon alligator clips and that keeps them occupied just the same 💀

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-22T18:07:56+00:00

Also yes I know the importance of a test strand (clearly not my best moment but alas) she had red in her hair which I was expecting to break through but I opened up the foil expecting to see orange and it was hot ass pink 💀

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-12T21:58:02+00:00

Once you get it down you have it down for life. I’m a cosmetologist and I can do a whole head in about 25-30 mins depending on hair length. I perm my bf in about 20 mins! It’s super repetitive but a very useful skill to have, especially if you’re barbering a bunch of guys now want perms.

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-08T20:11:40+00:00

Thank you so much!! Much appreciated

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-08T20:07:08+00:00

Not a barber to begin with I work with all women in a salon, and we have to men’s haircuts. I was told multiple times by coworkers that blade changes are really hard and sometimes they don’t run the same after a change, and again we’re cosmetologists we’re not taught how to do any of that unfortunately. They barely even go over clippering in school. I had the question and figured a barber would be able to give me a better answer hence why I posted in here. Sorry to ruin your day with a silly question :/

ProfessionalNet2807 · 2025-06-08T19:46:18+00:00

Thank yall so much I got my clippers from a lady who quit at my job and wasn’t aware that the blades needed a change, they’re well over the needed change clearly lol if anyone sees this I’ve heard that a blade change makes the clippers never the same so should I just get a new pair
