Its been getting a bit harder to keep up with this journal lately but I don't care if I have to write out 7 days worth I'm going to update it eventually. So here goes. Thought I had more than 2 days worth to write but that's only because its been 5 days with the weekend off. When we left off I had finished the Haircolor portion and passed the tests. So that left Friday to finish the week.
Friday Performance Floor:
I did not have a morning guest on friday. I didn't see an assignment posted so I decided to practise something with my Marcel curling iron. I decided to try spirals since I seem to struggle with remembering how to do them. So I went to work and started at the nape and got a row done. Then I started on the second row going up and started turning the iron the opposite way like I believe someone had told me to do.Mrs L came by and asked how I was doing and I said I think I'm doing it right. And then came the game changer. She told me I didn't have to curl the opposite way. Just keeping the part lines in a bricklay was plenty and work smarter not harder. After that I figured out my technique for placing the iron in a good spot to get the hair to feed into it and also figured out how not to put the crimp in the hair with the clamp / shell part of the iron. So then I had some fun finishing those curls. I still had a bit left to do when Mrs D arrived for her roller set. I timed myself, from the time I greeted her to the time she was under the dryer was 1:26 - 2:14 and of that it was 29 minutes to do the rollers. Now maybe that's not fast by standards but when I consider that I used to not get her under the dryer until after 3 I'd say I'm getting there. Another nice day with Mrs D.
After she left I finished the remaining spirals. I overheard Mrs L saying something about the 80's or 80's dancing or something. George Michael and Aretha Franklin's song Knew You Were Waiting was playing. Not sure what was going on but I guess she was challenging us to make 80's hairstyles on a manikin like a mini salon fair. I was about to start doing more iron curls on my ebay used manikin with the multi colored hair so I switched gears and the thought that popped into my mind was the scene from European Vacation when Rusty tells Clark Griswold that he wants his hair cut like the guy with the huge spiked mohawk. So I went and first grabbed the Wella - Flubber Gel and started making my spikes. Then I remembered the Sebastian - Liquid Steel. So I gave them both a try and basically I made Monstar's (from Silverhawks) girlfriend.
Tuesday Classroom Day: Day 1 of Principles of Hair Design / Haircutting 1
Theory Day. Half the day was book review and highlighting. Then we did a few review games. After afternoon break we had an activity in which Mrs E purposely cut short spots in 3 manikins and our 3 groups had to "fix" the haircuts. One of the short spots on my group's manikin was for the bangs. It was shorter than the thickness of my fingers. Since it was a group activity we all pretty much took turns doing something to it. In the end she went fairly short.
So if you're on the blog you can see these pictures of the curls and the 80's spikes if you missed me posting them Friday.
Thanks for reading
Love You All <3
