"...make a positive impact on the lives of others..."

Returning to school was an enlightening experience.  I thought going in that being a hairdresser simply meant that I could be creative, connect with people, have my own hours, and make a good living.  A few weeks into school I entered the Professional Beauty Associations (PBA), Beacon competition and won.
 

Just a few months later I was in Las Vegas attending the PBA’s Symposium listening to industry professionals and icons like Geno Stampora, Christopher Benson, Eric Fisher, and Vivienne Mackinder open my eyes to an industry that extends well beyond a hydraulic chair.  Then it hit me, this career change although challenging, isn’t a change at all – it’s an evolution. 

 

Beauty is a business and I am acquiring a new set of skills to enhance my current abilities.  This industry is exciting, challenging, and full of endless possibilities to make a positive impact on the lives of others and that is what being a hairdresser means to me.  So whether I’m styling a single client preparing for a job interview in Phoenix, teaching a seminar in New York, or directing the global launch of a product line in London, I will be positively affecting the lives of my clients and inspiring them every time they look in the mirror.
