I am blessed & it shows! This does not mean that everything is perfect or that I have it all figured out!

I am learning!
I am sacrificing!
I am growing!
I am having fun!
I am loved!

His grace is sufficient ✨

Today is September 1st & the countdown begins!

In 52 short days, I’ll OFFICIALLY be retired as a FULL TIME HAIRSTYLIST & EDUCATOR!

Yes, you read it right! I will NO LONGER BE DOING HAIR OR TEACHING FULL TIME!

God has blessed me with 20 STRONG years in the industry, now it’s time to pivot!

In those years, I’ve done more than most and for that, I am GRATEFUL…

I have been a published hairstylist, I’ve traveled the world because of my gift, worked on TV shows & movies! I have serviced beautiful brides & their bridal parties, done photoshoots, and worked for major product companies! I have taught future and licensed professionals, started several businesses & I have caught every dream that I’ve ever chased!

I have also experienced the growing pains of the industry. I’ve learned some very hard business lessons, gone through the ups and down of the economy, missed life changing moments with my son & family, I’ve experienced crazy, entitled clients and even made my own mistakes!

I’ve learned SO MUCH on this ride!

I am so grateful for every teacher, every client, every mentor, every single person that has spent money, posted a review, sat in my chair, extended a referral, donated hair, came consistently, or even been serviced by me only once, THANKYOU!
I love and appreciate you all for trusting me!

As I transition into this next chapter of my life, I want to encourage anyone that feels like you CAN’T do anything else, to TRUST GOD and surrender control.

I’ve done the same thing for 20 years! I spent my teenage years, my entire 20’s and early 30’s sacrificing my time, effort, knowledge and energy servicing people! I have no regrets!

In this season, I’m simply servicing me! This transition is not GOODBYE, it’s see you later!

To my close friends, regular clients and family, I will be honoring future appointments, please be on the lookout for a follow up email with detailed information about your appointments!

Until then, WISH ME WELL 🥂 by @toysmith
