As a hairstylist, we are meant to price ourselves. This is a hard task to do if you don't know that value of your own worth as a person and as a professional. It’s on a perfect line between confidence and humility to do something such as price yourself. This is a hard, thin line to walk. Especially as a woman and a mom. It's ingrained in me to serve. Instinctively, I DE-value myself, my needs, my time to take care of those around me that I love. I know you get that. I meet too many women everyday who struggle with the same instincts. On top of that, I want to help people, love people to the best of my ability and give my talents and gifts to everyone I can! In a perfect world, I would do hair for free! I really would. But it's so hard! I have to know and understand that my services do have value and I cant DE-value these gifts that God has given me. If I really think about it, it could even be argued that it is a disservice to those receiving the gift. Don’t you think?
I'm coming up on 20 years of experience in my field and I'm finding that I love what I do more and more each day. It takes an open mind, a love for amazing conversation, a desire to learn on a constant basis and PUTTING IN THE WORK!! It's such a rewarding and yet, tough job. Even with two decades of experience, in this ever changing beauty world, I am committed to learn each and every day. I certainly don’t think I am the best hairstylist out there, but I know that for some reason, my clients love coming to me, sitting in my chair and feeling better about themselves when they walk out my door. I am very proud of that. I love my clients. Truly, all of them! I feel as though I am privileged of having the most valuable clientele I could ever ask for! They have been through a lot with me and for this, I will be eternally grateful.
With all this pondering I have realized that I am wishing we lived in a galactic world that has no currency (for you Star Trek lovers out there!), but living in Denver with inflation and expenses rising, I must take a moment and RE-value myself and what I have to offer. Please know that in my raise in prices, I have you in mind. I so appreciate your continuing business and understanding with all of my changes. You truly are most valuable. I will commit also to showing you that value when you sit with me in my chair.
I will see you soon my friends!
