The good thing about being Dominican mixed, biracial, mulata..or whatever you want to call us is that we don’t fit in a cookie cutter. This is  how part of my business took off. I get to do all the pretty mixed chicks that SOME black girls don’t want to do and hair that SOME whites or Hispanics are afraid to touch. They think the hair is going to bite them or something. Its sad to hear the horror stories how they get treated in all black salon, vice versa. Then I get to hear even more horror stories how their racist families mistreat them for being mixed. Some don’t have relationships with their white  or black moms, their grandparents are ashamed of them. My mom was given away because she came out to dark according to my grandmother from Spain..even in the Dominican Republic you sometimes run into the foolishness of racism…there  are even issues with the white community here in Cali. I have a white client who is always telling me how her sister, nephews and nieces are blond. She is brunette but I noticed she has some type of childhood issues about her family being blond..she is so proud of it. Now remember what I’m saying as I speak. I am using the word SOME. Its a 50/50 thing in all races. Some people choose to be ignorant and the other half is mature, enlightened and spirtual. I choose the latter. My mixed clients and I have this bond I cannot explain.. Its a unspoken word where we know what’s up..they feel a sense of comfort in my chair..we share stories, I hear them cry..and let them be…I  will always give my mother credit where credit is due. She NEVER raised my siblings and  I to be bigots..if it wasn’t for my mother I wouldn’t have the pleasure to have such exotic beauties on my chair.. Love you mom..xoxo ….Growing up my sibblings  and I  had friends from all walks of life, all colors ..we are still like that today. My friends come in all sizes, different statues quos, from the welfare department to millionares. At the end of the day we all have the same wants and fears…your color doesn’t make you a better person the way you treat others does.  Shame on you folks who go to church  hoot and holler Jesus’s name but you hate your family member for being a different shade than you. Hypocrites!! Its a touchy subject for me……puff….(takes a looooooong deep breath)

Anyhoo I colored  retouched my hair tonight. Its supposed to have a pinkish tone.. ..I guess I will be able to tell in the morning. I used Igora Royal..it smells way better than Paul Mitchell. Paul Mitchell is a good color line but the smell is too strong. PS) The bald spot on my head is growing back thanks to the iron I’ve been taking. Now if I can just find a good hair weaver that can hook me up with the bomb hair extensions like Beyonce that would make my year..

…Okay I think I’m done in with my rant here… Its going to take me like 45 min to whine down …better use my time wisely and start organizing my reciepts for my taxes next year. ..that is one of the down falls of  being self employed, your house is full of papers and receipts…Gotta go Chao!
