I had a knack with children when it came to cutting their hair. They all seemed to love me! I built an adult customer base because of it.

Looking for people who are motivated to work, willing to put in effort, willing to learn, friendly, and team players. Having a clientele would be wonderful, if not that is okay too! #hiring #resume #cosmetologist #nailtechnician #salon

Expect for there to be minimal communication and unclean work areas. The owners don’t care about following state board regulations when it comes to cleaning.

I come from a generation that if you work hard you will earn a honest pay. After 16 1/2 years of being in the world of cosmetology and traumatic life changing events I decided to go back into the workforce life. Boy was I in for an eye opener! I made the mistake of going to work for a client who I thought was my friend and after 10 months of being her right hand and doing great at my job I was let go, so after 5 months of beating the pavement I found employment at a company that at first I really liked grew to love. Out of nowhere my mother passed away unexpectedly, mind you I only took 10 days off to plan her arrangements and quickly returned back to work. I am the type of person that has to stay busy so I won't wallow in grief or depression. I forgot to mention that the traumatic experience was that my husband and best friend lost his job after 17 years of service was doing a side job as a DJ and while he was working was stabbed 4 times by a patron which almost took his life, subsequently he had to apply for disability and that was a long process. Anyway that was the main reason why I went from being the caboose to the enginer in our household. I'm sorry this is alot but it is my truth. So back to my last employment I did really well and was at the top of my game there then mom passed and even though that happened I still was a top producer and did my job well, so much so that I did over and beyond the call of duty. So when my year of service anniversary date was coming up I asked my direct supervisor when would be my progress review date, after 3 weeks we finally had said review, mind you I got flying marks across the board but only to be offered a .50 raise??!! What?! I was in complete shock and on that day I put in my notice. This job was very stressful but what job isn't? I worked at 6 different locations for them, won the rookie of the year award, worked 9hr days and 8 months of 6 days a week. I could go on and on but I think you get the jist. I also did what I tell my children never do, I quit without having secured new employment. It was hard working for a company that didn't value me as a person and to work under people that don't know what they are doing. It felt like middle school not even high school there. It became clear why there was a high turnover rate. What should of been a clue was after I put in my notice the GM said they never had a review process in order, maybe because no one ever stayed that long. It blows my mind how things are out here in the world now. I have tons of working experience but no college degree. I am staying hopeful but it's hard not to have moments of despair. Please Pray for me and my family as I will have each and everyone of you in mine.

It's a great place to work and the new owner is an awesome cosmetologist. You'd be lucky to work with him.
