Long hair

2007-02-08T22:57:00.000-06:00

Kylee got me some hair extensions for my birthday. However, I got the wrong kind, and instead of having clips on them, it was just a very long track with hair hanging off of it. I had to cut it in to sections to fit my head, super glue the hair onto clips (doubled up because my hair is so dang thick), cut the hair (because it was down to my waist and very unbelievable and weird looking), and dye it to match my hair. Whew.
I just finished doing all that last night, so I put them in and ta-dah, long hair. However, my hair is SO thick that they still don't really work to wear out somewhere. My hair needs to grow at least another inch before it will blend in. So.. all that work and I still have to wait :)
If you are wondering what my deal is with long hair, I'm trying to grow my hair for my wedding. I haven't ever really had long hair because when it gets to the point it's at now, I start looking like I'm 12 again. So I would usually cut it all off at this point. But I will not be cutting it this time.
Alright so, here is before and after.

I GOT THE JOB!!

2006-08-07T17:04:00.000-05:00

haha, woo hoo!!! I finally get to say that! I'm sure I've called you all already, but now it's in print.. well text. So now we have a countdown till I actually start working! 16 days!

Interview

2006-08-07T14:08:00.000-05:00

I had my interview today. I think it went well. This is what I looked like :) haha.. I will know something for sure by Wednesday. So keep checking back, and hopefully I'll have good news soon. Maybe I'll finally get my, "I Got a JOB!!!" post :)

Hello hello

2006-07-31T22:37:00.000-05:00

Alright well I have a job opportunity now. I think everyone that reads this already knows this, but just in case.. it's at the new Sephora that's coming here soon. I do not know when it will be here or where, actually. But I should find out soon. I have to get ahold of people, send in my resume, and set up an interview. I'm guessing I will just be a salesperson of some sort, but I may be able to put makeup on people too.
Also, I've been helping Kylee with the ebay store. She came down last week and we took a bunch of new pictures of me. Go here to see them. And buy something :) haha :) Well, I will update again when I find out more about the job thing. Think happy thoughts.

Things

2006-07-02T12:40:00.000-05:00

Well let's see... It is Sunday of FOURTH OF JULY weekend!! So far it's been boring, Caleb worked 15 hours Friday and 11 on Saturday.. boo :) He needs a night crew that doesn't suck :) On Friday night he did have some not fun excitement, a cook had a seizure on the kitchen floor! And as he was having one, his elbow landed in one of the fryers, so it got really burned! But he is ok, and it was the kid's first day, and he came in the next day, saying he would bring a doctor's note so he wouldn't lose his job. Caleb was like, uh dude you left in an ambulance, I don't need a doctors note! Hah.
But.. Kylee is coming to see me tomorrow, so that will be fun. We're gonna go thrift store shopping all over. Then we are going to Mom & Ed's Tuesday to do fireworks and cookout. Some of my friends from Harrison are going to come too. Fun fun, I love fireworks :)
Also, Todd may have/may not have helped me out to get a job connection :) haha.. long story, BUT, because he is Mr. Popular in Fayetteville, I get to call a salon and tell them "Taylor sent me" (who is the owner of Dead Swanky, #1 nice salon in town). So that might be good. Plus Caleb's supervisor asked him if I had a job yet, and he said no cuz most places are full already. Well the guy was like, Hey, let's start our own salon in Tonititown, and I'll back it (he is LOADED) she can get like 5 friends and when the residential part comes next year, we'll make bank! Now, I don't know how valid or likely to happen that is, but it would be awesome cuz that's what I really want to do, I just don't have the money to do it :) Anyway, hope everyone has a GREAT holiday weekend!! No blowing fingers off!!!

Well let's see...Still looking for a job. Still working for Ed a few days a week. He is sooo busy this summer! 10 Chandeliers to a restaurant in Saudi Arabia and such. I am also going to go to Minnesota w/ him in August. Mom is not going anywhere to help install stuff anymore, and that's kinda become my job now. Plus I've never been to Minnesota before. Coolness.
I'm having a little annoyance week as far as the hair job is concerned. It's fairly hard to stay motivated when everywhere I go is either full, or only hiring people that already have a clientele. At this point I think I would work anywhere, just to have a job and not have to worry about looking anymore.
I've been pretty busy though, besides all that. Last Friday I went and stayed with Kylee in Springfield. This is her dog Roscoe to your right. (He didn't like the bow, he couldn't get it off, so he gave up) We took a bunch of pictures in her clothes that she has to sell on ebay. They are funny cuz I think I look like a DORK in vintage clothes. But if you are curious, go to ebay, and search for sellers, her name is victims_of_vintage.
Then Saturday was camping. And we got SO wet. haha.. But it was only kinda crazy bad from 10-11 that night, so we survived. Thanks to our nice picnic table canopy cover. We were so determined to swim that we went at 9:45 the next morning when we saw the slightest bit of sun. It was COLD. We mostly stood in the water daring each other to go under :) I did it. But we had fun though, I made hamburgers for dinner and scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast. Everyone only got one pancake after I wasted a few trying to figure out how to do it on the grill :)
I'm going to put a picture of our campsite on here, and a picture of Kylee's hair (I dyed it while I was there) because I don't think most of you have seen my mad skillz as Todd would say :)
Hope you enjoy the update cuz you know me and my ability to not post for days :) Sorry!

Job Search Round 2

Freddie's not a fan of getting his picture taken :) In case you couldn't tell.
For some more real news, I went looking again today. I am very proud of myself, too. I went to 6 different places, and they were all scary except one. Hah :) I went to the scariest first, and worked my way down from there.

They even sound cool:

Dead Swanky- No openings right now

Shag Salon- Have openings, need to bring resume

Posh Salon- No openings, maybe part time soon, took my name and number

Salon 125- Openings, need to bring resume

Spoiled- (A Redken Salon)Openings, need to bring resume

Hot Headz- (In Tontitown) No openings

So that's the deal there. Basically I need to make a resume and go out again. It is wonderful that it's not scary anymore though. I've said my little "Hi, I just moved here and was wondering if you might be hiring" so many times, it's no big deal. The girls in the places were nice too, I kinda feel like a retard for being so worried about those "Fayetteville girls" Hah. I decided, hey, I know what I'm doing, I'm good at it, I belong in those places just as much as they do. So there. :)
Oh yes, I also got bored last night and dyed my hair. In case ya didn't notice. This is why I need a job, I've dyed Mom's hair, Caleb's hair, and mine, I must start working again!!! I've run out of people. Well there's Freddie but....
So that is my update. I'm going back on Thursday cuz I'm working for Ed tomorrow. He has printer ink, I need resumes :) haha.. Hopefully my next post will be "I have a JOB!!"

Hmm...

2006-05-23T12:00:00.000-05:00

Well, I got a call today. I could have a job if I want it. Donna from the Hair Clinic finally called me today, and she had lost her voice. She said that she would like me to work there if I'm still interested. I told her I hadn't really looked anywhere else yet, but I was kinda worried about the walk-in situation. She said that truthfully, that may not be the best thing, if I need to make a lot of money at first. She said that I may want to check out something like the Mall, just to get some clients. So, I'm taking time to think about it, and will call her back later today or tomorrow morning. So, anybody have any ideas on this? All advice is welcome :)

Look at my luck

So, I went to Harrison this weekend to visit people. When I went to leave, I looked at my car, and this is what I saw (see pics below for close-ups). My car was parked on the side of the road over night, and in the morning, the window was completely shattered. So either someone in Harrison really doesn't like me, a little kid got a little crazy with a BB gun, or someone drove by and a little rock shot out from their tire and hit my window. Those are my guesses. But I really have no idea. I called the insurance company, and someone's coming to my apartment on Tuesday to fix it. I get to pay $100 deductable to fix a window I didn't break! Oh well, good thing I have insurance I guess.
However, my car will be sitting in my apartment parking lot until then. I was so freaked out to drive it home! It looks like it could just all fall out at any moment, and whenever I drove over any bumps, I could hear tiny little pieces of glass falling down in the door. I put that clear packing tape across the whole thing in case it did fall out while I was driving.
So that puts my life on hold until Wednesday. At least we're getting cable tomorrow :)
As far as my job interview, for those who don't know, she never called me back. I tried to call yesterday, but no one answered at the Salon, so... I really don't care that much because I think I was just settling for the first place, so I wouldn't have to look anymore. I'm freaked out to go to the cool places, but I am going to do it. I need to be at the "cool" places cuz that's the kinda stuff I want to do.
My job searching will resume on Thursday. I'm working for Ed on Wednesday, cuz I already make money there :)
So.. super long update.. crappy, but oh well. Not the end of the world to have a busted window :)

Originally uploaded by kegill.

So I went to look for a job today. I got an interview too.
The Hair Clinic is the place.
I am now back from my interview and here's the scoop:
She is hiring, will do booth rent or commission. Commission there is 60/40, which means I'd get 60% of what I make in a day. She provides the products. She said they get a fairly good amount of walk-ins and everyone there is usually busy, so I guess I would get most of them. She is interviewing another girl tomorrow night though, so I don't know if I have the job yet or not. I will know on Friday. So.. guess that's good news. I have lots of other options if not I guess. :)
I'll keep ya posted on the latest updates. Think happy thoughts for me :)

Sad Day

2006-04-28T17:57:00.000-05:00

Well, today was my last day at Sachet. I am sad. It will be ok though. I guess I should look at it as starting my new life. Even though I had a good life here. It just hadn't really become real until today.
Other than that, I'm just going to be unpacking and getting my new apartment ready.
So, if anyone is coming to Fayetteville soon, come see me! I have no friends there yet :) Just me, Caleb, and Freddie :)
Except I am real close to my favorite brother :) So that will be good.
Thank you to everyone in Harrison that has been good to me over the past few years. I will miss you all SO much :)

Moving

2006-04-07T00:11:00.000-05:00

I would've/should've posted this sooner, however I have been insanely busy since this news. So, I am moving to Fayetteville. I will be there at the end of this month, maybe a little sooner. Caleb got a promotion, to have his own Sonic, in Tontitown. The manager there put in his 2 week notice, this past Saturday. So a week from Saturday, Caleb will be the new store manager. He's been working there this week, and he'll stay this weekend. Then Mon-Thur he's off to move. So I'll move as much as I can then, until the end of the month. We found a place to live today. Go here to check it out. It's the classic two bedroom. The electric is already set up to turn on Monday. We'll have to do the water and everything else Monday before we go to get the key.
Lots of people have already been telling me about salons they know of, and people to ask for. So it shouldn't be very hard to find a job. With Caleb's extra money I will be able to have time to look around and find a good place, so that will be nice.
It's weird to think I'll be living there again in less than a month. I am excited though, just kinda freaked out still since it all happened in like 2 days. But I know it will be fine. I'll get to see Todd more now :)
By the way, I saw him today and he seems to be doing good. His eye is sad, but it will be better. You will be ok Todd!
Anyway, it is late, I must sleep. Just wanted to update about the big news.

Originally uploaded by kegill.

Well I did a bad job this month :)
So here's everything that's been happening.
I'm now a Redken Color Specialist. I finished my classes last week. So glad that is over. I've been in hair world for 3 weeks straight.
Last Saturday was the Bridal Show at the "Fashion Center" (Our retarded mall with like 5 stores in it)
This is our little booth. The whole thing was pretty cheesy, but it was kinda fun. I worked all day so I only had to be there for an hour.
I've been getting a lot of people for updos and stuff. My day today was completely full. I also made $170 woo woo :) The most in one day so far. Which also made a record week. This is the good time of year for hair people though. I also did some cornrows today. Hadn't done that since I started working, and it is so much better to get $65 for that instead of a $5 tip.
The Nine Inch Nails concert was very awesome as well. 5 of us went, and we all dressed the part :) I had my hair tied in knots all over and then pulled back into two crazy pigtails. We stopped in Clinton, AR, for a bathroom break and got lots of funny looks. It was fun.
Caleb is going to Tontitown on Monday to run a store there for two weeks. Some manager walked out, so Caleb to the rescue I guess. They're paying for him to stay in a hotel there and stuff. He'll get some good experience running a store.
The most exciting part of my weekend is that I get to sleep late tomorrow!! I haven't gotten to do that in 21 days. Oh my god. Ok so, everyone have a good weekend, and I hope you've enjoyed your update. Check back next month. Haha.

Not too much is going on. A lady got her head shaved at work this week. There was a radio-thon for the Arkansas Children's Hospital, and she is a DJ for the station, and she said she would shave her head if they raised $50,000. So it happened. Good cause though. I heard on the radio in Fayetteville these guys will shave their head for cancer research. They're only doing it for like $2,000. Crazy.
Hope everyone has a good weekend :)

Well, I thought I had made everyone wait long enough for a new post. If you're still even checking this page...
This month is going to be very busy. Kinda has been already since it's only the 5th.
Friday was my friend Shelly's birthday. Her new husband's band, All Hallows Wish played in Fayetteville, so we went to see that. Crazy music, I was there for moral support their first "real" show.
I'm also going to a class in Springfield, be be a Redken Color Specialist. It's 4 days long though. So no weekend for me two weeks in a row :( That's March 19, 20, 26, & 27. And after the first week, I'm going to a concert in Little Rock on the 21st. Nine Inch Nails, Caleb's all-time favorite band. Oh boy. :) More crazy music. It will be fun though.
Our salon is also having a booth at a Bridal show in the mall in Harrison. We're giving stuff away, and having people with pretty hair. Maybe get some more business for me :) I'm going to run a cornrow special when it's closer to spring. That'll be good or bad :)
So I may be a loser at posting again this month. I'll try not to be since there's a lot going on.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)

Blogging at work

2006-02-09T16:44:00.000-06:00

So, I brought my laptop to work today. My boss's son just got an ipod, and she needed me to put some songs on it for him. Well, I checked to see if there was any wireless internet around here, and the place next door has it, with no password! So I can surf at work now :) Sweet. I had a record Tuesday this week. $100, before that $50 was my max on Tuesday. So this week is going good so far. I have a few things Saturday so far. Caleb will be 25 tomorrow. Other than that, not much is new. I'm currently being "chopped" with a fake axe by a little boy, so I must go back to that. I'm being told to "PLAY, PLAY!!!" So here I go :)

Mullet Madness

2006-01-31T20:07:00.000-06:00

The Mullet
Originally uploaded by kegill.

Well Todd was right. I do cut a "mean Mullet". I got to cut 2 of them today. It is so ridiculous. How can people not know how silly they look? No one ever says, "Hey, can you trim up my Mullet?" It's always, "Keep the length in the back, but cut it up over my ears". So they really don't know that they have this style..
I wonder what would happen if I did a whole different, better haircut one day.. Not that I would, but it could help some poor Mullet victim see the light.
Anyway, I had 3 walk-ins today, which was good.
I have a perm on Saturday, so that's some good money I'll be getting :)
Not much new, stuck in hair world right now. I'm going to take a Redken color class. I will be a Redken Color Specialist after I'm done. Coolness. Keep your fingers crossed for Fayetteville.
