Hey my ladies!!! I'm home let me no if you need in!!!

So life can sure throw some curve balls!! Plans may have changed... may be back in Colorado sooner then expected and start doing hair again, with a few changes!!

STOP 🛑 FOUND THIS FELT I NEEDED TO SHARE!
Treating good hairdressers like you’re doing us a favor by “letting” us do your hair.

I’d rather live under a bridge, than do your dirty work for under $200... and when I say $200, I mean $600.. so know when you’re getting a deal.

You were a pro when you slapped that black dye on your head, so remove it yourself with your skills & your Sally’s and/or boxed dye.

There are many things I’d rather do than work for free & deal with attitude.

You can be cheap or picky, not both. Pick one.

We don’t pocket every penny you give us. We’re also not using dollar store boxed dye on your hair. The products are expensive, and we have to pay rent or commission.

Your dentist tells you that you’ve missed a few appts so now, you need a deep cleaning and the cost is going to be quadrupled. Nobody bats an eye.

Your tattoo artist charges $100 per hour, no problem.

Your hairstylist tells you it’s going to be $200-$300 because your hair is so outgrown, that you need more than a full highlight, and everyone loses their s**t.

Hairstylists have zero benefits

It costs us a lot when you no show or cancel last minute.

You want long blonde hair but don’t want to do the suggested maintenance or use good products.. chair hop and DIY with chemicals de c**a in between but expect your s**t to be flawless.

$5 shampoo, hairspray etc. is not the same as the $20-$30 bottle we recommend especially to people with colored/bleached hair. Are you crazy?

Stop telling us your great Aunt went to beauty school in the 70’s so you know alllll about hair. Do you hear yourself???

Stop insulting us by saying you can do our job and for cheaper. Like we spent thousands on our education for nothing.

You can’t Becky.

Just STOP taking us for granted. “DIY” since you’re so much better at it.

It’s not our fault you hate your life KaReN 🤷‍♀️

I’ll be under my bridge and just wait for my people

Ok, I think I’m done. 😆

Hey my SERENITY girls I have made a decision to take a traveling phlebotomy position, this has not been a very easy decision for me 28 years in the business, 2002 is when my dream of opening a day spa was born!! Alot of you have been with me since then, I have had the pleasure of watching your children grow heck watching my children grow!!! I have loved every minute!! This career has been a very amazing ride! I'm not saying I'm done forever, but I feel I need to give this a go I haven't been this excited about anything in a very long time!! BITTER SWEET!! My plan is to do my 3 mos that I need to get me to the 18mos experience that I need for most hospitals. Then I will be able to pick and choose were I want to go, less time away from Colorado less time away from my girls, and Less time away from my wonderful clients and friends. Hopefully I will be able to do both!! So my SERENITY friends I won't be back in Colorado until July 5th I will be taking hair clients then for a couple weeks and then off to my next adventure!! I unfortunately will not be offering nails services! But I am leaving you in the hands of my beautiful talented niece Andreah Ochoa she is so very talented I no fully you will not be disappointed at all!! 719-469-2533. I have always believed in NO REGRETS LIFE IS SHORT ENJOY EVERY MOMENT!!! LOVE TO ALL YOU ALL WILL ALWAYS BE MY SERENITY!!!

Never dreamed perms would be back in....here we go!!

Before and after!!! She loved it!!

Here you go ladies example of dark to blonde!! How long it takes to achieve

Please read “She just cuts hair.”
By : Maggs Elizabeth

She uses intense trigonometry to figure out the exact angle to cut your hair in order for it to lay correctly.

She uses scissors sharper than knives very closely to her hands and fingers with centimeters to spare moving them quicker than your eyes can follow.

She puts her body in odd positions to make sure she is level and can see each strand of hair she is moving, causing major damage to her body while she’s standing and bending for 12+ hours straight.

She buys pays to sharpen her shears and gets new shears yearly that cost anywhere between $50-$2,000 with no payback, just to make sure your hair isn’t damage from the tug of dullness.

“She just colors hair.”
She uses chemistry to create a special formula to work with your hair, that most likely won’t work with someone else’s.

She uses time that works against her, as two minutes too late will blow the cuticle in your hair and/ or fry it off.

She strategically places mixtures to blur lines and create a subtle blend and/or dimension.

She changes the combination for each client as mineral build up and pollution from water/environment/ products will react differently.

She changes the color of your hair without knowing exact genetics which play a huge part in reaction to chemicals.

She spends 3 hours moving her arms and bending her body into awkward positions to ensure perfection.

She copies an image from the internet that was a 12 hour session with 5 stylists working, by herself in 3 hours.

“She just plays with hair.”
She spends 50% of her work day using tools as hot as your oven.

She styles your hair exactly like that Pinterest picture that’s actually a wig.
She constantly breathes in fumes from hair products and she can’t tell you the last time she didn’t have a hair splinter.

She squeezes you in for a last minute style as she’s already been on her feet for 10 hours straight.
She has her arm above your head moving it back and fourth for an hour to blow dry it flat.

“She just does hair.”
She spends an hour doing a 4 year olds hair because she can’t sit still but it’s mommy’s wedding day. Mommy cries when she’s done because her daughter looks beautiful.

She spends 3 hours with a teenager who tells her every single person messes up their hair and she doubts this one will get it right. Suddenly brunette isn’t her color, she needs it back to blonde next week.

She colors a 35 year olds hair who has been using box color for 15 and didn’t tell her beforehand, so the chemicals reacted and caused it to smoke making this process 6 hours that could’ve been 2. She’s now being yelled at by her next client for running behind.

She wraps a 80 year olds hair in rollers for an hour to ensure she looks beautiful for her husbands funeral. Her daughter calls week later to thank you for making her mother feel beautiful.

She works when she’s sick because there is no calling off when you work with personal appointments.

She works when a family member is desperately ill in the hospital because her clients have gray showing and they have a meeting tomorrow.
She misses her best friends surprise birthday party because it’s prom day.

She works until 10pm because her clients hair reacted differently and nobody can figure out why.
She gets woken up by texts at 3am asking if she can get someone in the book soon.

She makes extremely close connections with her clients and spends all of her social energy on them.
She doesn’t get “vacation days” because people need her in order to feel beautiful.

She missed her child’s first soccer game because she was already scheduled two colors and cancelling would just be “silly.”

She doesn’t work 8-4 or 9-5, she works first client to last with no real promise if she can make it home for dinner tonight.

She also hasn’t eaten lunch the past three days because she’s had no time between clients.
She spends hours researching new techniques and finding educational classes to attend on her one day off.

Her life revolves around hair. Her brain constantly goes from math to science to social to psychology to client and back to math. She works hard physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically. Every day. With no breaks and definitely no silence.

But I must remind you, she’s just a hairstylist. She just does hair.”
