Well folks I have given up on Corporate America! Quite frankly I do not wish to ever work in it again. I've ALWAYS wanted to go to cosmetology school. And I am finally doing it! All I can say is that finally doing what I want to do it thanks to my supportive husband who pushed me to start and convinced me it was ok to not be working so that I can do something I love when I'm done.
So far I'm obsessed with classes. It's an interesting dynamic and a lot of age range but the gals I'm in school with are all very sweet and my freshman instructor is amazing. She's so kind, patient and super cute (let's be honest I like cute-ness).
A few revelations I have had are that...
1. Perms BLOW. Anyone who gets a perm and thinks that their hair stylist likes them is wrong. They hate you. Because quite frankly they are the worst things ever to do. :)
2. I LOVE weaving. Some things are harder than I thought and others come easier. This is one thing I can say I loved learning and was naturally good at. And since color is where the $$bling$$ is I am fine with this skill. Bragging moment - My instructor said I did such a great job and asked if I had done weaving before.
AND 3. After this picture I can show you that our "Manakin" heads we work with are creepy. I put my extra head on the top of our coat closet and forgot about it. I went to grab an umbrella over the weekend and literally screamed and jumped out of my skin. It had scared the crap out of me. I will never get used to them lying around my house and car. We use these for the first 7 weeks while we learn and then we graduate from "Freshman" and go on the floor as "Juniors" to start working on real clients. I don't know why they skip the "Sophmore" title but so far these first 3 weeks have FLOWN. I can't believe I'm almost half way done.
I'm very excited to be in school. All I want to do is people's hair and makeup all day. I want to make people pretty and feel good about how they look. 3 weeks down, 11 months and 1 week to go!

I'm so proud of you! Great minds think alike! I can't wait to keep reading about what you are learning!
Hurray for you Kam! I am so happy you're doing this.
I remember when one of my friends was in hair school and she said the same thing about the "manakin" heads. She'd keep them in her drunk and always get scared. I can't totally imagine you screaming and jumping. Hilarious. I'm sure I would have done the same thing, I'm so easily startled.
Cool! I remember being a little freaked out by Jen's manakin heads when she was in school...I would have flipped out if one fell out of a closet on me! That cracks me up!
ABOUT TIME!!! Where are going to school at? Message me on facebook! I'm more than willing to be one of your "guinea pigs"
