Laughing all the way to the BANKSY 💞🎈Hair artistry at its finest by @_p_i_g_m_e_n_t_ ••• I started in this industry when I was 17 as part of the apprenticeship program in California. At 19 I had my license. Since then I have been doing hair (off and on ) for the past 17yrs. A little over a year now I have taken time away. I was feeling burnt out and unfulfilled and I knew something had to change. I needed to grow. Sometimes in life you have to take a few steps back in order to take a few steps forward. We’ve all heard it! Right?! So I am dedicating this year to my own personal creative growth, busting my ass (and not getting paid for it) so that I can create a portfolio of work that I am really proud of. I realize now that my “dream job” really would be to work as a freelance hairstylist. Focused more on editorial type hair, and as part of a creative team! With that being said, shadowing @presleypoe would be such an incredible honor and opportunity!! Honestly, I wasn’t going to enter this contest because I felt it wasn’t right since I’m not currently working in a salon. BUT I am STILL a hairstylist! It is the very core of my being!! It is forever flowing through my blood!! I’m obsessed with it!!! I eat, drink and sleep it! So I decided today, after talking with a few awesome friends, that I am entering. Because to meet Presley Poe and to be mentored by her would quite literally be a dream come true to me. So, with one day left, and scared as sh*t to enter, here I am! Doing just that! Because, much like the @banksy painting I did on this hair, if you don’t follow your dreams and the paths that may seem too scary to go down, well, then grab some popcorn baby because your gonna watch that dream fly away! ♥️ #shadowpresleypoe @hairdustry @cosmoprofbeauty @presleypoe #modernsalon #hairpainting #playingwithpink #banksy #hairdressermagic #stylistssupportingstylists
