    Thank you. I definitely needed to hear this. I’m over working myself. & I’m constantly exhausted. It was fun at first and now it’s becoming a task. I ran into a situation where my client hated her hair, and I ended up giving her a full 300$ refund 🥺 I was so tired that I didn’t do my best. I felt so defeated. This was the first client that hated my work, so I definitely took it to heart. Thank you again ❤️

    Hi, absolutely overworking yourself can definitely take away the joy and fun of it. It's important to take breaks so you have time to breathe and fall in love with your craft again. I can definitely relate to to having to over a full refund, the day it happened to me I took it so personally but I learned from it. I know it sounds cliche but it's part of our journey. No problem at all :)

Now I've been out of doing hair for almost 2 yrs, but I'm not going lower than $60 for kids & no lower than $80 depending on certain braid styles & no lower than $40 with other styles because eventually I want to do silk presses etc.💖🔥

    Yes you can. Make a FB market post saying you need models for hair braiding photoshoot. Tell them they have to pay for the hair. Buy the hair and charge them double what you pay. Take 2-3 clients. You will get the practice you need and you'll get exposer. Then create a style seat with those pictures and get ready for the moon because that's where you are headed. 😍
