Three weeks until I officially start my journey into pursuing my dream in the Hair and Cosmetology Field. I have known since I was born to help people and it wasn't until recently that I discovered how I truly wanted to go about pursuing that dream. If you have thought about going into hair or cosmetology, you too, have probably heard the following statements...
"There is no money in hair and cosmetology." "It's pretty competitive so I hope you are good." "Don't you think you might be better off with a "real" job?" "I hope whoever you marry makes enough money for the both of you because you won't be able to raise a family with that paycheck."
Not only are these statements hurtful and discouraging, but they are false representations of what is in store for those who want to explore the world of hair and cosmetology. Not only can you be perfectly financially stable while working in a salon or whatever you may choose to do with your talent, but what about being happy. Life is so much more than finances.
I have labeled this "Bullying Beauty" because the beauty world takes a lot of... garbage. Do what makes you happy, because if you are going to do something for the rest of your life, the value of a dollar will always be a dollar but happiness and passion are priceless. If a bold lip makes you stand a little taller, do it. If you want astronauts to use your cheeks as a homing station with your highlighter, go for it. If you are the kind of person that just likes a little mascara, do you. Makeup is about YOU.
No matter what someone may say to you, especially you guys in high school, What they say and think, it really doesn't matter. Learn to do things for yourself, because, at the end of the day, it's you that needs to be put first. Put your passion first, because I guarantee you that with passion, comes fight. And when you fight for something you love, you can make anything possible.

With that, "turn your can'ts into cans and your dreams into plans"
Stay gorgeous
