Entry #9

PROBLEMS?

Dates: 11/2/12 - 11/6/12
Reflection: I put a question mark in this heading because I really haven't experienced any problems or frustrations during this internship. If I did have to narrow it down to something though, it would probably be learning how to blow dry and shampoo other people's hair for the first time. My problem with blow drying was that it was hard to grab the hair with the brush and maneuver the blow dryer the correct way to make it all flow well. With shampooing, I still have a little bit of a problem when it comes to all over colors and getting all of the color off the back of a guests neck when they are in the shampoo bowl. I am catching on more and more everyday and I know I will have it down soon! With the blow drying, I pretty much have that all the way down now there is no problem their. The way I handled these situations was to just put my mind to it and keep trying. It all comes with practice and now I am really good at it! As for the computer aspect of things, the only time I felt that I ran into a problem was with opening certain documents on our work computer because all of the programs on their were not updated. But, of course, after working at it for a little while I figured out how to get around it. Learning and get accustomed to the SalonBiz program took a bit of time but after time that came easily too. What I have learned from all of this is that if you just keep working at something you can do anything. You just really have to be motivated to keep trying. When it comes to something you really feel like you can't do, just ask! There will always be someone that can help you in some way.
