Learning Lessons: It is very important to be open to life-long learning. When you stop or lose interest in learning, you kill your progress and diminish your chance for success and reaching your full God-given potential. You will make mistakes and regrettable decisions along the way, but they are teachable/learnable moments in your growth and overall success. Seek out mentors (experts in your area of interest who can help guide you and help you navigate road blocks along the way). Don't expect them to give you all the answers because they won't have all the answers--they are still learning as well. But their experiences (mistakes, triumphs, and people they've met along their journey) will be very helpful to you. And then, once you've achieved your dream(s), you can then be a mentor to someone else--and watch your blessings multiply! --Hair Doc
To professonal hair stylists and students: Have you consciously chosen to work ( currently working) in an all-white, all-black, all-asian etc. salon, or a salon whose environment reflects solely your particular ethnicity, race and/or culture? Are all your clients a reflection of your own ethnicity/race? Are you afraid to engage and cultivate a multicultural clientele? I'd love to hear your story and your reasoning if you're willing to share. Being a product of our environment or upbringing does not have to pigeon-hole and limit our capacity to broaden our perspectives. People truly are people, just as "hair is hair," no matter whose head it rests on. What you've experienced can be a timely and valuable lesson for someone else. -"Hair Doc"
