Hey, Hey, Hey!!! I hope you all have been doing well. I’ve missed seeing your faces for sure!
Warning: Long-winded post, sorry in advance, lol
I had my nails done yesterday. I told my girl, T, that does my nails what I wanted and let her pick the color. (Isn’t that funny her name is T too? Lol!) She picked the color “Bare My Soul”. Ironically, that has been the theme for me this week and I wanted to share my future plans with all of my people..
I love what I do as a stylist, a colorist, and an entrepreneur. Making people feel good about themselves, improving their self confidence, being a friend and confidant, and growing together as we have embarked on marriage, kids, and dealt with all of life’s curveballs has meant more to me than you could ever know. Most of you reading this post I have know for 10, 15, 20 years plus. I can’t thank you enough for your loyalty to me as your stylist and friend for all of these years.
After weeks and even years of tug of war in my head and my heart, I have finally decided that the time has come to move out from behind the chair and I will not be reopening my salon. I have given everything to everyone, my whole heart, and soul for all of my adult life. That’s who I am and always will be but it has taken its toll on me personally and I realize I have got to put myself first because I was not at my best working and living the way that I was. I don’t know exactly how this story will play out but I do know there’s something else out there calling me in this world. I hope to stay within my industry, the beauty industry is one of the most rewarding for sure. My goal is to move back into education and sales because that makes my nerdy science brain happy teaching stylists/salon owners about the chemistry and technology behind what we do. Who knows what will be....but y’all know how my crazy brain works, lol!
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for being my people! I hope to stay connected and see you all once the world resumes somewhat of some normalcy. I’m always a call/text away, ok let’s be real, text...I don’t answer my phone. 🤣 Coffee dates are a must and I’m always down for wine or cocktails. (Anytime after 10am is perfectly acceptable.)
Love, love, love you all! Stay well and healthy!
