High School Hair Salons

.. relax every muscle in your body... and maybe you can feel a wave of exhilaration

Salons need to stay current on the new trends and style within the hair industry and a local cosmetology school can help with that. Keeping a current relationship with the local school can help with the technicians learning new techniques from the local school. Most schools hold training classes and continued education courses for current stylist. The school may contact the salon and make them aware of upcoming courses and the manager will relay the messages to the current techs at the salon. Or the Salon and Spa owners will set up training courses to be taking at the salon.

Many people might choose not to complete 1500 hours so they can choose to complete 1200 if they would like. The downfall to completing only 1200 hours is that you will have to work an additional six months or more under the supervision of a licensed hairstylist (Hairston).

This newspaper article by Sue Shollenberger, describes what it's like to have a frantic life full of responsibilities. It talks about a man who has multiple things to do with the little time he has. The man tries to find a way to organize all of his activities and responsibilities. But what people don't realize is that matter how you try to time manage your schedule,

The Elkhart Area Career Center cosmetology class is a loud, crazy, girly group. They are all about makeup, hair, and YouTube. Mrs. Teagarden, the instructor is a medium eight, silver-white haired lady. The salon lab is an L shape room with fluorescent lights, walks half cream half green. Constant water running in the shampoo bowls, minty fresh tea-tree shampoo, and the buzz of a blow-dryer. U93 playing the same ten songs on repeat all four hours your there. That’s the cosmetology salon.

During the hours of 8 am to 8pm I am running around and so focused on other things, that I ignore what I might possibly need. After 8 pm I allow myself an hour to regather myself and ask, what do I need to do to get done before tomorrow? That whole hour allows me to re-centre and balance myself, however I am not sure how effective it in is such a short amount of time. By 9pm I am so physically exhausted, but somehow very mentally aware and I find myself the most productive at this time. Maybe it's because I’m to tired to move that it allows me to focus and do my homework, or just watch a show, but it is a direct reflection of my mental and physical needs. By 11 pm I turn off my home, check on my kids and head to bed where I do personal self reflection, which is a really bad habit of mine. With the guidelines of wellness and the medicine wheel brought to my attention, I am able to effetely redirect myself in a more positive outcome. Both the wellness guidelines and medicine wheel are directed to guide us to a better self understanding and positive reinforced tool box of

I am performing my occupation on routine basis, but before occupational analysis activity assignment I never pay attention for my life cycle and how much time I am spending behind my daily routine tasks. This assignment helps me a lot to organize myself and learn about the time management. Poor time management skills can lead to anxiety, depression, procrastination, frustration, anger, and diminished interpersonal, and occupational interaction (Marcil,2007). From occupational analysis question one pie chart (figure1) about the activity differentiation, I found that education and performing ADLs was two of my major occupations, I am spent most of the time in these two occupations. Also, I found that work and IADLs were my next two priorities for occupations and I spent very less time for play, leisure and socialization. I believe, as a student I have to spend about fifty percent of my time for study and less time for ADL and work. Also, I found that my daily routine pattern was unbalance because of lack of sleep and less time for play, leisure. The insight I found form question two activity analysis pie chart(figure.2) that I performed most of routine occupations with energetically even though there was not balanced in real life. I believe that not all days are same for everybody, my mood changes based on environment, workload, and priorities. Some time when I come from school or work I feel lethargic and I don’t like to do anything, but my insight always encourages me to perform if I have any assignment due or exams on next day. The insight that I gains about the relationship between studies, ADLs, work, IADLs, play, leisure, and sleep/rest are not balance. I know that ADLs, IADLs, and work are important tasks of daily living; I need some personal time for play, leisure and sleep/rest time that keeps me away from burnout and becoming ill. The secret of

Most African American women get their hair advice from low class salon who are self-taught. Low class salons have no knowledge of black women's natural hair texture nor natural hair styles that will protect their hair to keep it from breaking off. These salons use hair relaxer products on their African American clients because it is a fast process and are able to quickly move on to the next client. However, African American woman does not have the option to choose between a relaxer or a protective hair style when dealing with these salons, As a matter of fact, The New York Times mentions, plenty of salons are educating themselves on natural hair styles. “Many wear their twist, locks or teenie-weenie Afros”,” proud to have not given in to the

All civilizations that have ever existed in the world have had their own unique forms of art that distinguish each from the other. This has been evident in trends such as culture, religion, economics and even art and architecture. The influence that Ancient Greeks had on architecture is enormous and has influenced modern day architecture all around the world. They were the first to look at buildings as not only a place to live, work and worship the Gods, but also a way of communicating to generations and civilizations to come, ancient Greek beliefs and philosophy. More specifically, the Greek temple is the most distinguished and influential form of public religious architecture in the history of

There is a wide percentage of Americans struggling to maintain time, which causes these similar issues and circumstances as well. “Eating well and exercising (54 percent each) are ranked at the bottom in terms of importance when compared with other aspects of well-being, including good family relationships (76 percent), managing stress (61 percent), getting enough sleep (60 percent), good friendships (60 percent) and doing well in career or studies (59

In 1889, Vincent Van Gogh with oil created a classic picture named "Starry Night". He painted his own night during the hardest time of his life. At the time, he was detained in a psychiatric hospital room. Not to be out, he drew during the daytime, based on what he remembered. Van Gogh only mentions "Starry Night" twice in letters to his brother, which made the drawing became more mysterious and curious.

The entrepreneur I interviewed was, Dehra Battle. She is the owner and stylist at Hair Savvy Hair and Nail Salon. The salon opened up on the Spring of 2010. I have known Dehra for the past 10 years. She has been my personal hair stylist for the last 10 years. Being a close family friend, I have witnessed her trials and tribulations with being an entrepreneur. I choose Dehra, because she is a wonderful and hard working woman; she has a passion for helping others with self esteem by creating signature styles that will give any woman the confidence. Dehra was not satisfied with working under a salon owner who was not concerned about the workers safety and customer satisfaction. She wanted to be in control and create an environment that customers would love to attend regularly.
