Happy Thanksgiving! (forgot to publish)

     Happy thanksgiving everyone! This may be a short week here at school, but holy moley we are busy! All the holiday clients are making appointments to get beautified for their families and friends. We are getting all booked up which mean tons of practice.
     Since we blogged last I have fully made my way onto the floor and had plenty of appointments to keep me busy. When I am not with clients I am trying to be the good student and work on my worksheet (5 tasks to practice on mannequins when you don't have a client). I have jumped over my fear of doing my first perm on a client this week. It wasn't so bad, just took me forever! I will definitely have to practice on wrapping it a lot faster! Only practice and time will help with that. I am just excited to do more hair cuts and dive into more color clients. I did have a request for a color next week... wonder who it could be?!?!? Something to look forward to!
     I have had a great past few weeks. It was my birthday last week and a day full of surprises. My amazing friends from school decorated my station, got me a princess cake, had a potluck and sang to me! It was awesome! I have never had to go to school on my birthday before due to it being a holiday, but for this being the first time, it was well worth it. Thanks to all my TCOB friends and staff. I even got a haircut by Mrs. Rivera to make sure I looked extra pretty for all the festivities! So much fun around here. 
     As the short week winds down, so am I. I will continue to look forward to what is still to come and hopefully jump some more hurdles of fear as I continue to do services on clients.  


Until next time,

Time is flying!

     Wow... Time is flying by. Last week we had two new starts begin. While they started with their curriculum I finished off my Freshman final. Passed my written with flying colors and am almost done with my practical. You know what that means right?? On to the floor I go next week! I am so excited! So all of you reading this that want to attribute to my learning, come get a service done by me... Jacqui! 
     Last week as 2 come join the TCOB family, one graduated! It was so great to see my good friend, Cassandra graduate and get ready for the next steps to get her license and start her career. I am one happy friend, although sad not to see her smile at school everyday. This week we watch another senior student will make the leap from this little pond to the real world. Congratulations to Evangelina! 
     A lot is going on around here between finishing freshman curriculum and moving out to the floor, so many coming and going, learning, book work, and all the fun in this building! Just got my hair trimmed today as well by the one and only Mrs. Rivera and I will say it looks fantastic! One of the many perks of going to school for beauty is making yourself beautiful while you are here. Cant wait to update you all next week as I make my way onto the floor. 


Dreaming big~
