Whoops, I forgot!
Paul Mitchell the School: Reno has finally gotten their very on Social Networking team! I'm happily a part of it. I don't regret joining it, even though I thought a long time ago I wouldn't even dare doing so much social networking.
Either way, you are encouraged to follow us on Facebook and Twitter (I run the Twitter account)! We're currently working on Pinterest and Tumblr. Even if you aren't in the Reno area, I think it would be cool to keep up on our events and such...Who knows, maybe we'll hold an online contest?

Busy Busy Busy Busy!
Wow, I thought I'd have a lot more time to post here! There's lots to talk about but it's currently 12:14 AM as I started writing this, but here goes! Time for an update for all you readers (there's what, 3 of you at most?)
Lots of wonderful people have been coming to PMTSR as guests artists! Doug has been our artist and also volunteered to be the Haircutting Victim of the Day.
That's him in the chair, there. Do you see how tall this guy is compared to our Sales Leader, Darren? Darren is 5'4". Imagine how tiny I feel since he and I are the same height!
We've also been blessed to get to know his sister, Amy, for around an hour. I won't say much, but Amy's story was inspirational and she made me appreciate the things I have. Many tears were shed by most of the student body that day.
We also had Abe & Melissa, who are some pretty big names in the company! It was nice to hear all of their stories and I had no idea until the end because my mind is slow with processing, but Melissa was the hair designer for the Oscar-nominated movie; The Artist! She performed a hairstyle she did in the movie on a student. Abe told us of his story while he performed a cut on another student. That was a treat!
But my personal favorite, as much as I loved all these artists during the last few weeks, was Charles Marcus. A motivational speaker who actually worked in Vidal Sassoon's salon and was trained for years to get over his public speaking fear. I took all of his words to heart and he was even kind enough to take a photo with me after he was around!
Aside from awesome artists and speakers coming to the school, I've started to build a small clientele here! Sadly, even though I've been getting my name out on the street and I've had clients rebook with me, I've yet to have a client actually return and come for another service when they had an appointment. I won't let that get me down, though! I'm going to keep trying and by golly I'll be getting a new client around here sooner or later that will love what I do and will stick with me until I force myself to move to California. I'm actually quite confident in one client that I had this previous Friday; He said he was happy with how meticulous I was in his haircut and he was in the military before and liked looking professional. He even asked if I could be his stylist next time! Crossing my fingers really hard here.
Last note for today is that I've decided I am going to try and see if I can apply for the Disney College Program. I've been told that it's only for university/2-4 yr. college students, but darn it that doesn't say I can't try and apply anyway. Do you have any idea how awesome of an opportunity that is? They even have an internship in Florida for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! Even if I didn't get that, I'll go anyway if I get in. That's the opportunity of a lifetime. I'm not going to give up trying. I mean, I might be a trade school student, but that doesn't make my value to an employer any less. I'm still paying for school, I'm still a hard worker, and I'm still going to pursue my dream of being the Fairy Godmother I want to be, damn it.
That's been pretty much the update since May. I'm sorry for the delays. <3
