Who doesn’t want every client to fall in love with them? You gotta agree there’s not a lot out there that feels as good as when a client says to you:

“Dawn, you’re the only one who can do my hair. No one, I mean NO ONE has ever been able to get it right like you do!”

I love those clients. They make my feel like I've fulfilled my calling and I'm a magical goddess.

It’s been a minute since my last episode, (life has its ups and downs, you know?) but I’m back! And I’m SO excited for this episode with my friend Jamie from Sheariously.

Jamie and I met a while back  in one of my hair painting classes. She’s been a stylist for 13 years and has been a successful work-from-home stylist for the past six years.

It’s safe to say everyone craves feeling understood, right?

It took me a long time of working as a hairstylist to realize that the biggest factor of my success was my communication.

And when I say that I mean, learning how to communicate. It wasn’t something I was ever taught or something I knew to be important. I just assumed (that’s a scary word to use and something I’ve learned I should never do) that people knew what I was talking about and if they didn’t it wasn’t my fault, it was theirs for not understanding.

January 30 2016, is a day I’ll never forget. Looking back it was a pivotal moment in my career… but at the time I wanted to shrink down as small as I could and run away

See, I had the most loveliest client in. I had done her hair before and we were gabbing away while I applied her highlights.

Ten years into my career in the beauty industry, after some awesome accidental experiences in my travels to England and Australia, I was ready.

I was working in a salon that had recently had a change of ownership.

My boss had hired me right out of hair school, and she was awesome.

Even before I tried their products I knew they were a company I could totally get behind.Then I tried the products (the true test) and they're amazing. No joke. Since I love helping other women in business, I've decided to partner with Voir to give you the chance to try them out in our Valentine's give away!

Before I give you all the details on how to win, here is my 100% honest review of each product

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react.

I remember seeing this quote as a kid and not really getting it.  But the more life unfolds I realize how much my quality of life is controlled by my response to it. Recognizing that what is happening is only a fraction of the equation and the real power is in my response.

For me, communication is just as important, if not more, than the service itself. When you choose me to be your hairstylist you are investing in me.  I want to make sure I take the time to sit down with you face to face and get to know you before touching your hair. 

I decided to make a video to show you all that even hairstylists struggle to do our own hair. It's easy when we stand behind you and effortlessly make your hair look great, but really we can only do so much when we can't get behind ourselves.
