I Got A New Job

Last week I went in to get my haircut and the salon I went to was looking for an esthetician. To make a long story short- I got the job! And it turns out it is right across the "grove" from the spa I've been working at. I really liked the Green Muse, but wasn't a big fan of the owner- at all! So today I started my new job at Hair On Fire and ended up quitting the Green Muse. I love Hair On Fire!! They've been around for 15years now, but just expanded to include the spa part about a year and 1/2 ago. The salon part is huge, but the spa part is still growing. When I don't have appointments I am helping the owner out with all the front desk work, talking to customers and checking them out so that I can talk to them about the spa services and talk them into getting facials, waxings, etc. And I'll be making so much more money than I was at the Green Muse:) This salon/spa is almost exactly what I want my spa to be like, so it's perfect! I'm definitely seeing what all it takes to own your own spa; and it's alot more stressful than I thought- but definitely worth it.

This is the area where I work: http://www.portwarwick.com/index.html

Pat and I went to a massage school yesterday and talked with the admissions director. I'm seriously thinking about getting my massage therapy license as well. I keep going back and forth between massage and hair. To get my cosmetology license it would be about a year as well, but the closest decent school is an hour drive. So I don't know! I'm still weighing it all out. I just have to decide by May 1st or I won't be able to start massage school until September!

PS- Pat and I got our tickets last night to go back to The Woodlands for Laura's wedding! We get in about 10am on Wed, June 25th and leave that following Monday morning. We can't wait to go back; we haven't been back since our wedding!
