If you allow it its easy to become an alcoholic behind the chair. I advice having an assistant to help you relieve some stress if you are self employed. Doing hair is not the hard part,  it’s absorbing people’s energy. Without a word I can feel people’s positive or negative vibe. I can tell when my clients are stressed when I am shampooing them at the shampoo bowl, their heads are hard like a bowling ball. If you are codependent like me it’s even worse. You feel EVERYTHING.
If I needed a day off  and a
client snapped  or  threatened to go somewhere else. I would come in on my day off.

If I did 10 people in one day and 1 wasnt  happy I would dwell on the one that wasnt happy..these are just some of the these things that cause burn out and a quick bUzZ after work. Its what makes it okay to have some wine in a coffee mug when a client pretends she’s bringing you coffee but she has a bottle to share  in her car. Or when you have that demanding diva client that scares the rest of your clients away and you need a  Dos XX beer with twist of margarita flavor on a Sunday night because your having anxiety the night before her appt. If you let people get to you your liver will be gone.

I was told by my Eastern Medicine doctor that I had no energy. Something I knew all along. On my days off I sleep ALL day like I’m waiting to be kissed like Sleeping Beauty.. LOL..I will be taking my first vacation in June for a week. Doctor’s orders. I haven’t had a vacation in 26 years. I took a week off years later to see my father. That doesnt count.The rest of this year is learning to take care of thyself. So far my clients have been VERY supportive of me and well those who want to throw a tantrum are just going to have to kick rocks😆✋

Hummm that brush looks kind of cool..LOL! No worries. I dont drink anymore thanks to My Eastern Medicine doctors, accupunture rocks:) life has just begun Whoop! Whoop! ✋😆👏😅
