Wow is all I can say. Lol I work 3 double-booked days & work with an assistant. When it’s a work day, I wake up at 6:30am. I get myself ready and then about 7:30 I get my 2 girls up and start their morning routines. I leave by 8am & take my first client at 9am. I normally do 2-4 extension clients and finish working around 5pm. Then I go back home to be wife and mommy which I love! I own 2 salons so days off are busy keeping up also, but it’s a blessing!

Try to find someone to mentor you that A: does what you want to do in the industry in the future and B: cares about other people.
What do you do to feel more inspired?
Educate myself, and help other stylists achieve their goals
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
“Others” Lord, help me live from day to day In such a self-forgetful way That even when I kneel to pray My prayer shall be for – Others.
Help me in all the work I do To ever be sincere and true And know that all I do for You Must needs be done for – Others.
And when my work on earth is done And my new work in heaven’s begun May I forget the crown I’ve won While thinking still of – Others.
Others, Lord, yes others, Let this my motto be; Help me to live for others That I may live like Thee.
A poem by Charles Meigs (written sometime between 1890 and 1902)
