Hello everyone! I know I haven’t blogged in over a month, and trust me, it feels good to be back on here! Well, what are some things that I can catch you up on? We had our exams about two weeks ago, so that was a very stressful time for me. It seemed like my brain was on overload the entire time! I’m glad to say that that week is over, and I have passed all of my exams therefore I passed the semester! Woo!!

The one exam that I was really stressing out about the most would be my lab exam. We took it over the whole week, and it was kind of scary! What we did for our cosmetology exam was have a mock state boards examination. We performed all of the tasks that we were expected to do at state boards, and everything was timed! There were also three different categories we tested in: Hair, nails, and skin. We performed all of the procedures on mannequins, and our nails on flour hands that we made!

After all was said and done, I got my grade and I was pretty impressed with myself! I knew that I had messed up on a couple of things, but now that I know what I messed up on, I’m pretty positive that when I do go to State Boards, I will be able to pass it with flying colors! Speaking of State Boards, hopefully, we will be going as soon as March!! That is, if my lab instructor can get our scores sent out in a timely manner. I can only hope that we actually doe go in March, that way I’ll be able to work in a salon while still in high school!

Now, for more of a current up-to-date update, right now we are learning about wigs in lab and all of the different wigs there are today. We are also going to learn how to size wigs for individuals! I’d like to say more, but that’s all that’s going on in lab! However, we will be having another cut-a-thon at the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center Salon!! This will be held on February 23rd, and will run from 8:30- 7 I believe. Don’t quote me on that though! When I upload my next blog, I will know for sure! You will be able to come to the salon and have any service that we offer whether it be a hair cut with a style, or manicure with a facial! We offer many services at low prices!! Okay, now i sound like a T.V. commercial!!! I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend, and next week I will let you all see what we’re doing out in the lab with a couple of pictures! Bye everyone!
