I started a new job today, at a tight salon in west hollywood.
It was fucking horrifying. I havn't started a new job, with all new people, in over two years. Even when I moved back down here from seattle, people I had worked with at newport ulta were working at huntington ulta(where i'm still at now).
I got the worst anxiety on the way there, and it didn't go away all day.
I guess I'm just nervous because ever since I started hair school I dreamed about being at a salon in LA. I guess I just have these huge expectations that I will excell up there for some reason, and I'm terrified that I might not be able to produce the results I want.
Not to mention, on my fabulous first day, I sat around the damn shop for about 6 hours with absolutely nothing to do and no clients, and the one client I did get was a crazy lesbian chick who appeared to never have shaven her armpits, that indulged herself in an extra-long, sensual hug with me before she left. And her hair was an absolute mess to try and fix, so it was highly nerve-racking to deal with while everyone was watching what I was gonna do with it.
I'm scared of change in general. I'm especially scared of this change. I'm scared of not getting enough clients.
I guess all I can do is be patient, and and appear as fearless as possible, and work my ass off. I'm pretty much giving my life away to the hair industry, since I will be working 7 days a week at two different salons about an hour away from each other.
wish me luck. I'm really, really gonna need it.
