Waxing...the torture

This has been a crazy week and I feel like I haven't sat down in class at all. Which is a very, very good thing.

Tuesday, we had out facials final. I scored 100% and am sooo excited. I love giving facials and it was an amazing feeling to get my test results back.

Then, we started waxing. I went from the highs of an awesome score on my test, to the lows of waxing. Not that I am bad at it. But, I am a perfectionist. Which means, it takes me forever to wax, because I want to get every hair. However, my teacher is excited to have me in waxing and keep encouraging me to find a way to enjoy it. On top of the whole perfectionist thing, I find it very hard to look a client in the eye and say, "ya know, we should wax those hairs on that lip." Or, "we should think about shaping these eyebrows." I feel as though I am pointing out the flaws in a client and that just doesn't sit well with me. Instead, I would rather make their nails pretty or send them into a relaxed state through a facial or prepare them for a big day with make up. Instead, waxing focuses on the clients' flaws. Not my cup of tea.

In other news, I had my first real client tonight. A manicure with my pastor's wife. It was fun to have someone other than a student to work on. I am also hoping this will get more people to come in and see me.

With that, I will let you all ago. Thank you for joining me on my journey! ~S
