Almost 4 years into entrepreneurship, and the ebb and flow still catches my by surprise. I never expected my passions to shift, but I have started to embrace change to allow growth. Growth can be painful and scary, but nothing great comes from staying in our comfort zones. .
.
One constant in entrepreneurship is the amazing people I get to serve. I cannot wait for this bride to marry her love in January!

“Think of having clean hair as being a blank canvas, a pretty neutral canvas. The artist is able to use different textures to create the depth and details necessary. “

Go find out why we prefer to work with clean hair, on the blog! Link is in the bio. Happy Monday!! .

I do not know who needs to read this, but it is a reminder constantly in the back of my mind. .
.
When you ask for a favor, show gratitude...but, do not be sorry for asking. When you have a particular vision in mind do not apologize for making sure it comes to life, instead show appreciation for the people making it happen. Say no when you need to, and it is okay to not be sorry for it. .
.
About a year ago I shifted my “I’m sorry” into ways of saying thank you when “I’m sorry” was not quite appropriate. It has been a rewarding mental change. Our words do have power.

We have all been there. We think we have our client’s look figured out from seeing inspo pictures, but then there is not a front angle. Where I see problems happen is by assuming the clients know how the front of these styles usually look. We, as stylists, have a general understanding. But, unlike us our clients have not spent hours analyzing the photos. .
.
I love to begin the conversation asking “how do you envision the front of your hair?” .
.
This gives the person you are working with the opportunity to share any concerns or any specific ideas they have about the front of their hairstyle. I hope this little tip helps at least one person. Because...in my line of work, happy bride happy life is my motto. 💗

Happy Thursday! I am excited to start introducing our team!! First up is Elizabeth. She is a full time salon stylist (boss babe!) and works weddings with us, too! .
.
Elizabeth has been my ride or die since the beginning! She loves on our clients well and always seeks to understand before getting to work on the hairstyle! Elizabeth is an exceptional momma to 3 kids and has a precious grandson, too! She is Hawaiian and lovvvves warm weather. She shows up consistently for trainings and is eager to always keep learning. Thank you for all you do for the Radiant Reflection beauties, Elizabeth! .

Does anyone else have to remind themselves this? .
.
.
The only direction to go is forward, so even on the hard days we have to keep our heads helf high. Let mistakes stay in the past, and keep propelling! .
.
Do you have any mantras that help you through the tough days? .

Today I did something I have put on hold for a long time!! The best part is I got to see two past brides. This business allows me to meet some of the most incredible people, ever!! My goals for 2020 are more about cultivating those relationships. And, creating opportunities for you all to meet one another...because...incredible people should meet other incredible people! .
.
Maybe a Radiant Reflection Facebook group or a Radiant Reflection meet up?? We will see what 2020 brings!!
