Jax Hairdressing

Job alert ‼️👇 Still here smashing out the blondes, even though my thumb is on strike ! 🙃✨
I’m still working in a reduced capacity🫶🏼! I’m only able to take a limited number of bookings🥺, but the quality and care remain the same .🌼

Also…If you’re a stylist ready to level up and want a stunning salon to work in reach out for a chat I may have an opportunity 🙌🏻

Having one hand that doesn’t work properly doesn’t limit my ability to create stunning work and my passion remains as strong as ever.
This is proof that a little challenge can’t hold back creativity😉. It simply means I dedicate more time and attention to each guest, ensuring every style is crafted with care and passion.
💗💛💚💙

I am allowed to be pi⚡️sed off but don’t take it as I’m feeling sorry for myself as I promise you that isn’t even an option in my head.

As I wasn’t back at work full-time yet, still recovering from shoulder surgery that left me worse for wear, I regrettably decided to undergo carpal tunnel surgery. It’s meant to be a relatively minor procedure, but I knew there was always that 1% chance of things going wrong.

Long story short, after undergoing several tests due to my hand not working as it should post-surgery, and extreme pain being a daily occurrence, I was told exactly what I was dreading: some nerves have been broken .

Moving forward, frustratingly, I’m only able to service a couple of guests a week. Everything takes me longer because I’m having to adapt to a new way of doing something that I’ve done for 22 years. 🤭 If the nerves don’t find their way back to each other in 4-6 months I will need to have nerve grafts so come on universe help me out here 🌸.

While these setbacks have been big blows, I remain positive and still find greatness in the present. Your support and patience are invaluable to me, and I eagerly anticipate returning stronger than ever.

It has been heart wrenching watching my salon disintegrate before my eyes and I am so grateful for Irena helping me try hold onto my dream. 🫶🏼

Hello and happy new years to all💫

I was like a little child at Christmas this morning. My first time since June doing a whole hair colour and cut all by myself 🤟🏼😁.
My shoulder has come such a long way and I have been given the green light by my Physio to service two clients a week to test my shoulder’s endurance. I’m finally allowed to start some stabilising exercises so watch out I’ll be back bumping up my hours in no time.
In the meantime I will be taking one week at a time and Ashlee and Irena will continue to keep great care of your hair until I’m able to.

I am grateful for your loyalty and patience and look forward to getting back to full capacity soon

(Not very hair related )

I hope me sharing this may help you if you are going through a tuff time in your life ❤️‍🩹!

Moving forward with my new G I F T that I have been given.

Let's call the little devil in our heads Bloody "Borris"🖕

You know I "WOULD NOT" actually give anything to be that girl in the photo again because then it would be saying there is something wrong with my life now, when there is NOT, it’s how we interpretate our current situations that creates how we feel and deal with it.

I am not one that enjoys telling people my problems, yuck😣! I actually cringe at myself!
I have been told I should write a book, but I am well aware there are many far worse off and more interesting people than me. I am only just going to touch the surface what's been going on, as life has been telling me for years to change my path and I haven't been listening, so then it SCREAMED at me, completely derailed me..... now I am listening! (probably since I married my husband🤣 just kidding, love you Dan🩷 who’s been a rock).

Hopefully you will take away something from reading this. I feel it’s worth sharing. (I'm still not perfect at it ....... yet)

Here we go🤦🏼‍♀️.......this is by no means a pity party. As only a few of you know for some undiscovered medical reason my joints are tearing, I have been told I can longer run (hip disorder) which I thought was my greatest mental healer, nor work my job I was born to do due to a shoulder surgery complication. Since surgery in June I have had another accident, the same shoulder has a new full thickness tear, and it is left frozen (which means I can't do much with it).
My other shoulder has possibly torn due to a dog related accident recently and I have hand surgery booked in for next year. I have had years of setbacks when trying to get to the Coast to Coast start line, one year a bike accident leaving me with 4 shifted disks and a concussion that lingers, and another year I had a horrific kayaking experience nearly drowning me (saved by Joe Moody the Allblack which was a bit funny), but all this is not such a bad thing, as it has molded my life to what it is today and boy I have been given a fudge caking gift and that at the moment is "TIME"!!!

I was deflated and thought I was less of a wife, mother, person because I am not currently earning an income for myself. Who said this? No one, it was bloody Borris! a thought I had created in my own head!!!!! I am still the same person; I just have more time to do other productive things.

Once I stopped stressing about my current situation and stopped Bloody Borris in my head wondering what my future hairdressing will look like, I realise I am still me, my family is still them, my salon is still bloody beautiful, the only thing that had changed was how I was interpreting my life taking its new directions, there is no rule how life's meant to look, once you accept your reality you will be able to feel joy again🥰.

Turning stressful situations into an appreciation and determination and growing from them is the key to it all. Yes, my mind goes and chats with bloody Borris sometimes, but then I ask myself who said that negative thought about my future? Its only ever bloody Borris and it's not actually my future it's Borris's prediction. I am learning not to listen to her. I hope that makes sense??

Everything in front of me is a gift not a burden, I now have a new starting line. Do you see it's not about wishing what was or could be, its learning to be grateful for what is. Yes, I live in pain (like half of you), but pain tells me something is wrong therefore I have to listen to it and completely modify my life. Acceptance is the key.

So what I’m trying to say is I have accepted my new me, I am now obsessed with learning the guitar, plus that makes me cool now right🤷‍♀️😆? I am setting new goals for doing some epic hikes instead of runs.

I feel a great desire to help people and get so much joy in doing so, which releases my endorphins. Find your endorphin release, we all have one. Control what you can control, which is what you put in your mouth and how you think.

Ashlee and Irena, I appreciate you in my life and love hanging out in my salon retreat with you Thursdays and Fridays. There maybe a new opening in the future for another stylist if the right person comes into my life🤷‍♀️, so feel free to reach out for a chat.
I am hoping to be able to do a couple of hours a week next year🤞🏼 but I am taking one day at a time.🌈🌞

🌸Love Jax
