CURLY UPDOS


















FINGER WAVES


This is a hair cut a student who had graduated a long time ago  did I, I don't know what happened but It was the worst haircut I have ever seen :) So i decided to style her






And my own personal creation! I hat when cutting someones hair and they say I need it long enough to fit in a pony tail...really? that just means it doesn't matter how you cut it they will probably just put it in a pony tail so..I created this hair cut...stil cute and you can still (put the back ) in a pony tail ha ha!

Sorry these are side ways I cant figure out how to fix them you will just have to tilt your head:) and if you want to still be able to put your hair in a pony tail ..you know who to call :)

Venezuela

I have a student who is from Venezuela, She may be the funniest person I know she is so loud and passionate about everything and so funny, it has been a challenge teaching  her because she only speaks broken English there have been multiple times I have asked her to repeat her question and finally have said “I’m sorry, I don't understand what you are saying" It usually takes the whole class to interpret what she is saying she has become a million times better but just a few stories of our communication barriers:
Yesterday she came exploding through the door as usual saying "Hay erie buddy lisen to me! duz enny buddy wan a home decor?" we all looked puzzled and I asked "Home decor??? I asked "Home decor???" she said no no no mamma cita (She calls me mamma or mamma cita) "hone decor" still puzzled I asked "what?" "Decorations for your house?"  "no no no !ma car I sellin it!" "oh you mean Honda accord" "JES! That is it!" "ma honna da core!" another story that is more embarrassing for me than her is when I was teaching about the layers of skin and for who knows why the book describes a layer of skin as” horny” as in a bumpy rigid layer Venezuela asks "Mamma what is horny?" "Trying not to laugh I say “ it is a term used to describe the layer of skin. "I'm sorry what you say? Horny??? How you spell that?" by this time everyone is giggling to themselves as I spell out horny "H-O-R-N-Y"  "Stil no understand I will goggle it" "you mean google it ?" "Jes that’s what I say mamma" this is just the tip of the iceberg of the communication run- ins we have had but it sure keeps us laughing!
Loved this class!

Baby beaver or vole? Mole? Rat?

A student brought what appeared to be a baby beaver in the class she found it in the road and needed to save it. Seriously? Baby beaver in class was not in the hand book I couldn’t make this stuff up. I didn’t know what to do, she said she rescued it from a car hitting in the parking lot.. Seriously? There were numerous discussions of lice and nats and rabies and cats and the animal shelter and determining if it was a beaver? vole? Mole? Or rat? for 5 hrs. straight.
New Class rule:
NO ANIMALS IN CALSS (including voles)

Good news moments:

A student told me thank you for teaching them, they had so much fun today. Its days like this that outweigh the bad ones.
Another student told me I looked like the Victoria secret model Gisele … and get this they were being sincere, greatest complement I had ever received, it’s days like this… that I love my job !

fungal what?

I taught theory on hair growth and diseases tonight I had been teaching all day I was exhausted  unfortunately my brain was mush by 8:00 and I accidentally said  Fungal Orgasm instead or Fungal Organism…enough said?....enough said.
