SWAMPED!

This is the outside view of the salon. :)

 

   UGH... I have not had the time to do anything the last few weeks it has been crazy ever since I got this new job.  But I LOVE IT!! It is such an awesome experience for me and it is the right steps towards my career.  For those of you who don't know much about Shapers I will give you a little run down about my job and what I do there.  Shapers is located on center road heading toward Gratiot.  It is a pretty up style salon and very cute inside.  It has two floors of stylist, a spa, nail section, and just recently added a makeup section.  As you can see it is kind of a big deal. Everyone hired into Shapers salon has to start off as an assistant.  So that makes me an assistant.  I happen to assist the two top stylists, Amanda and Angelo.  Both are amazing at doing hair and I happen to find myself just watching them most of the time.  As an assistant I do pretty much anything those two tell me to do for them from washing towels to getting lunch.  I love my job I still have tons to learn with being an assistant since I have been there for only a week but I am sooo excited to learn.  Most the time you can find me giving shampoos, arm and hand massages, sweeping the floor, and washing and folding towels.  As for now you can pretty much tell I am low on the totem pole.

This is a picture of inside the actual salon.  (the top floor)

  

 Not only that I have to tend classes on the Sunday's and Monday's. (not every Sunday and Monday though)   I shouldn't say "have to" I should say "I get" to.  The classes are taught by Amanda and Angelo and I just had my first one today.  It was an up-do class.   We had to draw a picture out of a pile and then copy the up-do.  I ended up doing five pictures in the time that we were there and had a blast learning and talking hair with the other stylists. I love my job!!

With a new job also comes a new schedule for the week:
Sundays and Mondays:  Are my days off unless I have class.
Tuesday-Thursday: Work at Shapers from 9 to 9.
Friday: Work at Shapers 9 to ? (depending on the last hair appointment scheduled for the day)
Saturday:  This is a kind of day off unless one of the stylists ask me to come in from 9 to 3.  I tend to say I will since they pay me 10 dollars an hour.  I work at apple mt from 5 to 10.
As you can see I still work at apple mt I am still debating if I am going to end up quitting that job or keeping it.  They already know that I can only work two days a week, and it is just extra cash to put in my pocket at the end of the week.  So as you can see I barely have time to do anything any more.  Mondays are spent on doing everything I possibly can that I wont be able to do until Saturday or Sunday.  This includes laundry, working out at the zone (which I miss horribly), hanging out with friends, and a little shopping here and there. :)

I loved the weather that we had yesterday I did not know that it was gonna be that hot BUT I did not complain one bit!! Oh and my best friend Rachel gets home tonight from her second trip to Costa Rica for the year! I can not wait to see her and talk about her trip.  I think this time she got me a present!! whooo whoo  I missed her and need her to keep me on the work out track hahha.  (I didn't end up going the whole week she was gone.) NO GOOD.  I hope to find more time this week to keep up with stuff and not get soo far behind on my blog.  But we will see I am kind of a busy girl.  But I can not disappoint my FIVE followers.  YESSS I am moving up in the blog world. :)
