Ventilating Sucks!!!

OMG!!!! I was so excited to receive my kit from http://www.hisandhers.com. I paid $109 for the kit and I received the following items:

Hair

Ventilation needles (2)

Lace

Duckbills

Comb

Canvas head

Wig stand

DVD

Now, when you receive your kit, you are really excited because your on your way right? Well, let me tell you, normally I can catch on quickly, but this old brain of mine gets scrambled, lol. My frustrations were:

The lace was hard and very small, and my hook was getting caught on it.

I could not see my knot to pull hair through knot.

And  I wasn’t pulling correctly.

Nor was I applying enough tension.

I am giving myself all this week to learn this, meaning that I will spend hours during the day trying to learn this technique on my own. To prevent any frustrations I will watch video, then try it again or I will just walk away from it and start over. I wasted too much money not to just learn this technique.

I have come across some trainings I’d like to attend, but guess what? I don’t want to fly, but here they are:

Lacewigtrainingcenter.com - $1200 (training located in hotel, no shuttle to hotel)

Amariefulllacewigs.com-$1300 (Skype training, one on one, shuttle from airport and hotel)

Learnelacefront.com-$2500 (no extras)

dresdreams.com-$2500 (no shuttle, two hours away from me)

As you can see the training is very expensive, but I am adding on to my business and I see something big for it. The thing about being a hairstylist is you have to constantly promote yourself and also educate yourself. You cannot get to comfortable because if you do you will get stuck and you won’t grow. Those type of things are the reason new hairstylist can’t make it within the industry because those are the most important things. Money comes later….

Since I decided to share the places I want to receive my training, I won’t disclose where I got my training. I have not even decided yet on what I am going to do……I know I am going to have to have some hands on though, the skype sounds great, but really truly that’s not gonna work for me. I am a visual and hands on, and I can’t ask a video questions,lol. I will hit my DVD again tomorrow. I will post about my progress. Until then, see you on my next blog post.
