There is something about a Client/Stylist relationship...
You see each other every 4 to 7 weeks for anywhere from 30 min to 2 hours.
For some people that is more often then you see your family and/or friends.
You talk and learn from each other, you share ideas and advice, you lift each other up, you rejoice with each other, you mourn with each other, then, you make an appointment to do it again soon. You look forward to these visits and its seems like yesterday that years have passed. It truly is a special relationship.
Last year almost exactly, I lost a dear client, Jesse. I met Jesse and her daughter on my mission in Mississippi and adopted them as family. I had the special opportunity of doing her hair for her final resting place. I think of her again as another client (only 24 years old) passes. It's a loss that is hard to explain. The workplace suffers as a whole. We get so use to seeing these friendly faces.
Thank you to each one of my clients! Thank you for being a part of my life and letting me a part of yours! I love you all!!
