FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Attend seminars, workshops and purchase videos of new styles and techniques to stay abreast. Also, subscribe to various magazines dealing with spa and salon services. But, the best source of staying up on the latest development is networking with other stylist and salon owners.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into the spa business because of my mother, the spa was her suggestion and my companions dedicated research. Unfortunately, she did not live to see her idea come to verision. I went back to school for my manicurist and Esthetician license, closed my other service company and started working full time at the spa instead of managing it. After my son (a single parent) attempted to do press-n-curl my only granddaughter hair, I went back to school again to hone my skills as a natural hair cultrualist (stylist). I was on a mission to save Deja's hair before my son damaged it or untrained braiders snatched her bald from to tight braiding.
