This is why I do this!



On Wednesday, I had the wonderful opportunity to stop by Salon Fusion in South Bend to get to know some of the fabulous hair dressers there but to also get "My hair did." Sarah, the owner, was gracious enough to help my sad locks of hair (it was a long time since it was touched). After a lengthy consultation (communication is key!), we found an excited assortments of color and away we went!

As I was getting my hair all situated, I talked to Sarah about my journey to becoming a hair dresser. I mentioned that not all of my family was thrilled with my career choice. I explained that with a family member going through cancer and how important hair is to women, I had to figure out a way to utilize my talents and help make others feel beautiful inside and out! When my loved one lost all of her hair, it really affected her... You can wear fun scarves and pull a Liza Minnelli with fun falsies but it's just not the same without your own locks of hair. There's a reason why they say that hair is a woman's virtue. I had this revelation... I know that this is why I went into hair, to help women (soccer moms, cancer warriors, and all) stand a little taller and feel gorgeous.

After a few hours of color treatment, blow drying, and chatting, my hair was finally revealed! I felt fabulous! I wanted to recreate the Herbal Essence hair commercial and scream, "Yes" upon walking out the salon door!! There's something magical about a little trim here and there. I personally know how much of a difference hairstylists make, whether it be by listening to your whole life story or getting you dolled up for a hot date!

I'm happy to fuel the passion for hair dressing and to know that I'm helping others feel fabulous!
