Stylist

• Nov 2012 - Apr 2013

I am a licensed stylist at this locally-owned, family-oriented salon. I specialize in providing high-end children haircuts, hair styles, and manicures, and I also welcome adult clientele as well. At zoey + joey, I don't just cut children's hair; I offer parents advice and guidance on how to manage even the trickiest cowlicks, dreaded bedheads, and curls ravaged by snarls. I tackle the logistics of styling wiggly children's hair and share with parents the best methods for shaping, growing, and taming hair that is constantly on the move and ready to play.

Stylist Assistant

• Feb 2012 - Aug 2012

I am in charge of the background; the services and support that hair stylists need to make the experience for each client run as smoothly as possible. Cleaning and sanitizing their equipment and stations protects the clients' health and safety. Shampooing, applying post-color treatments, and blow-drying clients allow the stylists to ensure that each client is getting the best service possible while also allowing the stylists to begin services on-time with other incoming clients. I am also learning tips, tricks, and new techniques from very experienced, sought-after stylists who have been in this industry for decades, in a salon that has won 11 Best of Washtenaw County/Best of Ann Arbor Awards.
