So recently I read something (not sure what it was , probably home work) and it asked me what would I want to be as a back up career if my main career goals didn't pan out , and I was just beside myself .. To this very moment I still don't know .
For any of you that have actually seen my Facebook page (aka online portfolio) , or read a lot of my other posts , my passion is hair . It's what I love to do and what I have been doing my whole life pretty much . I started getting more and more into hair dressing around 7-9 years old , and I wanted to try every thing I saw , wanted to watch all the hair dressers at the stores , and all the shows .. And I wanted more than anything to practice , but no one wanted to let the little 9 year old experiment on them .. So I did my own hair . I have taught myself almost every thing I know about hair , how to do it , how to maintain it, and how to keep it healthy . When I was about 12 , I decided I wanted to own my own salon , that hair was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life .. But I also didn't want to be working under some one else for the rest of my working years , as you know from previous posts I'm not good with rules .. Every one tried to give me reasons as to why it wouldn't work . "You'll never be able to afford the building" , "You wont be able to handle standing on your for feet all day" , "You ALREADY have back problems" , "do you know how many hair salons there are ? what makes yours so special?" , And the best of all , "you can never run a business w/o a business degree" . Let me just say something .. I get that these are all real problems that may occur , real scenarios that could prevent me from doing this job for the rest of my life .. but you know what .. This isnt my LEGACY for no reason . This is what I am good at and what I love .. No , as of right now I don't have a fall back , but you know what , IM YOUNG . I have time . And in response to those comments ..
1. If I save up enough money , I can have any building I please
2. I've stood longer, walked longer, and it's not like i'm not ALREADY doing hair all the time , I'll just have a designated spot for it .. let me worry about my feet
3. I am working on getting my paper work in order tomorrow so I can get my physical therapy and hopefully not have to live with this bad of a back well into my adult years .
4. YES , there are a lot of salons , great ones at that .. But none of them have ME !
5. and YES I absolutely can run a business w/o a degree . I learn fast and I don't remake old mistakes . If I can manage myself I can manage a building , it really isnt much different . I need to handle to income and output of the cash flow , monitor the stock in the store , do taxes on time , keep tabs on my employees , make sure my building it up to code and DO GREAT HAIR .
So , if you would like to help me along with my dream , and you live in sacramento .. I would love some new clients ! (: I do a range of hair styles and designs . I will post a link to my page which includes what I can do , what I have done , and a price chart ..
Help me live my dream ..<3

Peaceful Unicornville
As per our English project, Me and my friends Marcy & Kendall made our own utopia we call Peaceful Unicornville! We had fun writing this , SO you BETTER have fun reading it ;D
Let us tell you about our Utopia!
Our community is a democratic based society where community
has complete control over all elections via electronic voting ballets. We are a
very peaceful people, but do take necessary precautions to stay safe, as we do
all reserve the right to bare arms. We care about our environment, so we drive
in marsh mellow cars as to abide by our "no pollution" laws. We are a
happy, positive people and require 3 smiles a day to uphold a peaceful
environment. All are welcome, we have bright colors, unicorns, and smiles!
Every year we have our Annual Unicorn Festival where we have
rides, games, rainbow cotton candy, and a raffle drawing to win a full pot of
gold! Our festivals are all age friendly, and encourage you to become part of
our community. There's always room for new neighbors.
Our schools are safe, and fun. We have ball pits in every
school for recess and passing period play time. Our parks are clean and family
friendly, the scariest thing you might see is a unicorn pooping rainbows, but
who doesn't love rainbows?! We also live in rainbow gated communities, with
watch towers of rainbow warriors.
A normal day in our society involves all the norms of
another city, with a few extra rainbow perks.
DAILY SCHEDULE:
11:15am Wake-up
11:24 Drink unicorn tea
12:18pm School starts for kids
12:35 Shower time ! (in unicorn tears)
1:46pm Work starts
6:46 Work ends
7pm PARTY TIME!!
3:09am Party ends
(go home)
3:29am Rub good dream midget and go ni-night
Although we advocate fun, we can only stay this peaceful
because we have rules.. Our rules include:
No dull colors- No solid black, grey, or black, must have
other colors included.
No pollution- All citizens must drive marsh mellow cars, no
smoking, and no littering.
Only kind words spoken- No hateful, hurtful, or
disrespectful words shall be spoken to another citizen.
Everyone must wear unicorn horn hats- We must honor our
national animal, the unicorn, by wearing a horn like theirs.
All citizens must attend annual Unicorn Festival- It's your
duty as a citizen of Peaceful Unicornville to attend our festival.
No violence- Altercations must be solve using words, or by
contacting the authorities.
We have our rules, but we're safe and fun. Come visit us
now, where the fun has begun!
