So, this is my first "post", (hehe it's fun saying "post" ^L^) and I'm just so excited I am not sure what to post. Maybe I'll just sum up everything I have been learning throughout my schooling at Brio/Marinello's School of Cosmetology. (Be prepared to be scared by the promo voice when you click the link.)
Well, when I was in my high school years, I was very interested in fashion... but not so much fashion as it was how the clothing worked with the hair and makeup. I went to a Vocational/Technical school so, I was in "Fashion Design & Entrepreneurship". It was okay but I got very tired at the thought of doing this the rest of my life. I even had all my paperwork set up to attend The Art Institute of NYC. Everything crumbled and my dream fizzled out.
It was like that dream of creating and styling clothing shed it's non-existent skin and out walked a new and more astonishing dream that I would have never thought about... being a professional stylist.
My brother, Jimmy, was attending one of the Brio schools. (Hairdressing runs in my family.) He told me all about this school and it turned out to be better than I thought. I learned so much so far and made so many friends. I learned how to apply color correctly, how to do a relaxer (No... it's not a perm. A perm is to curl the hair. A relaxer is to straighten out the natural curl.), how to distinguish between Haircolor and hair color, just so much more I can't even explain all of it.
I recently just reached 1000/1500 hours. (The state requirement for getting a license in Connecticut is 1500 hours.) I am so excited to graduate and work in a salon, make a name for myself, and hopefully fulfill quite a far-fetched aspiration (I'll explain in later posts.) Anyways, I have chosen my focus to be in color. I love the versatility there is in this beautiful art. So many colors, so many creations, and so many opportunities.
