Thinking of the Future

Last week I was told that I had no choice but to transfer to a different Hairmasters salon up in Covington. I loved it at the Auburn Hairmasters! It was right down the hill from where I live and it was easy to go grocery shopping afterwards. The reason why they transfered me was that I wasn't open enough. With my co-workers. I was taught all my life to keep my personal life separate from work, so it won't cause drama. That's what I've been doing. I hate drama and I don't want to deal with it so I keep myself away from drama if it ever occurs in the salon. I'm trying to stay productive while I'm at work, do laundry, answer the phone, clean the shelves, and call clients when its not busy. I do admit that working close to home was wonderful because I was able to go home on my lunch breaks and have lunch (or dinner) with my husband.

I started working at the Covington salon last friday and its been a busy weekend. It sucks that I transferred because now I don't have seniority to request certain days off. I now have to work the ENTIRE weekend. I work friday through monday. But lucky enough, now I am able to come to work 1/2 hour later on sundays so I can attend at least an hour of church. I know the weekends are the busiest which is fine for now, but I prefer not to work on Sundays. And I don't have one whole day off with my husband. :( Most of my clientel is located in Auburn, and I don't think that they will follow me all the way to Covington. But some have already come to see me! :D I have sent out postcards that Hairmasters make for the stylists to send out to their clients to notify them about the change of salons. I am so happy that the postcards have reached my clients. I have also placed my cell number on the postcard just incase they can't get a hold of me at the salon. I hope some of them will still come to see me even though I have moved so far away.

I have been looking around and asking questions about leasing a chair. Which means that I would pay a rent fee, either weekly or monthly, to use the chair space and all the sales go straight to ME! I do have to pay for insurance if anything happens to or my clients in my chair. In some salons, I would have to help pay for the products that I use or I would have to pay and get the products myself. I would love to work only for me! I can choose my own hours I work. I can be my own boss! I would definitely love to do it in my own home later on when I start a family. I can't wait for the day that I will lease a chair! I don't know when but it's something I would like to do in the future.
