Im a independent direct forward professional stylist and these are the best ways to describe myself…
i like to keep the whole salon clean & organized. I focus on revenue an understand products to
help customer. Taking Clean sections ,double checking my work leaves no room for bad reviews or
mistakes. My willingness to communicate positively with others when they are feeling negative. Overall

and is a safe productive environment for everyone. I can sometimes get to involved in tasks quality
over quantity efficiency. Thank you
