INTERN ? yep..

Everyone has got to start out somewhere right?
So im at 1200 hours into school... iv been slacking i know.. but when you live in a state you hate. Your girl friends either take a leave or graduate... and you are left with only your sister in the suckiest state.. you start to get maybe just a little bit depressed.. haha. But its all good. Im looking at being done somewhere around august or september.

So this make up artist came to school to give a presentation.. Shes done make up for the film high school musical and other cool stuff.
i decided to talk to her after class. Turns out she was in need of an assistant.
There was a hair show coming that weekend so i decided to take up on the offer... even though i had to wake up on sunday and monday at 5am to get ready and be in SLC at 7am. i mean at least i get into the 2 day hair show for free.. (its about 60 bucks a day)
So friday night i went to her place to get some training. and our gig was sunday and monday.
Even though my job isnt glamorous.. all i do is help any of the artist that need help. Finding little eye shadows in boxes full of them.. ugh.. its ok i got to play with seriously over 200 eye shadows, clean brushes after every model. run errands and apply face primer and foundation, so the artists can work on conture, blush and eyes.

Its actually really fun i learn so much and get to network with alot of GREAT stylist in the industry. and im getting a WONDERFUL letter of recommendation by retro hair, to put in my cute little portfolio :]

i got to see Ben from shear genius work on stage!!!


if you dont know who he is. He is the straight hair dresser with gauges and tattoos. He is a real funny guy. and he knows his stuff.

i also got a bit of hands on training for the beaded in extension method.
i learned more about fusion but i still gotta get some hands on to really grasp the concept.

But just to give you an idea. A regular service for a beaded in strand by strand hair extension is $800 and up!!! and can be done in less than 4 hours!

Most of you lovely friends ask me.. well who gets that done... and while i laugh at you... more people have hair extensions than you know... there so natural now a days you dont know if a girl has REAL hair or just hair extensions haha.
so to answer your question lots of people get hair extensions.

im just really excited for this great opportunity.. who knows who i could meet.. iv never liked the west coast.. but getting paid bank and living in california.. away from all the drama of the east... doesnt sound too bad actually..

so whats the next step?
well im going to continue my assisting with my lovely make up artist.. and looking into getting my foot in the door with the Lunatic Fringe salon.
Ill have to start out as in assistant as well.. but im ok with that. you gotta work your way up.
