pimpin ain't easy
So for those of you who didn't know, I have been job hunting lately. Not to get rid of Starbucks like it was last time, but this time it is to get rid of Regis. Every Wednesday I am out there searching again and again for a salon that I feel suits me and will also think that I am suited to work there. Today I actually think I found that salon. I was in return offered a job. Now I am on a mental quest trying to figure out if it is the right thing to do. The job has its drawbacks but it also has its perks.
In my position, it is a very scary thing to do what I think I am about to do. I am sure every hairstylist has felt this way in their career lifetime, so I shouldn't be any different. Here is the major hard part of my decision to leave Regis... Salon 602 is booth rent. So instead of me having a steady income, I would actually be paying out. That is the nerve racking part. Whate happens if I am not successful? What happens if no one follows me? What happens if I fall ungracefully on my face and can't get back up?
Can't be any worse than what I am going through right now. Working my ass off day in and day out to make a hundred and some odd dollars for working nearly 35 hours a week for two weeks straight. Why am I wasting my time paying Regis more than half of what I bring in for them? Why shouldn't I be entitled to everything I brought in for them? These are my clients, not the corporation's. I am sure they do not see it that way though. The benefit of booth rent is, everything is mine and I just have to pay rent.
So if I work more than 25 hours a week at this salon, the rent is is $135 a week. If I work 25 or less it is only $90 a week. I talked to my manager at Starbucks to see if I could go ahead with my promotion and then if it is a go there then I think I am definately going to take the job at Salon 602. If I got my promotion at Starbucks I would have to transfer stores, but at least it would be the one right down the street from my apartment, so I would save on gas. I will find that out either tomorrow or Friday whether they Ok'd it or not. Pray for me to get it so I can no longer be trapped in Regis hell.
Oh and just a vote, how many people would follow me?? I am starting to worry that not a lot of my clientele would follow me. And then in the end I question how good of a stylist I really am. Oh geez, this whole monologue took another turn. I think I will end it right there...
