Yesterday i went in again to complete another 5 hours of job shadowing. It was pretty similar to all my other days i complete hours. All this job shadowing is making me very intrested in the job field because it is a type of job where you have the chance to create relationships with people depending on your quality of work. People who like the work that you do will want to come back and get the same service they did the past time and with you you start building loyal customers. On this day i went in and observed the same type of thing but with different people. I got to interact with people as they were also intrested in the work i was doing there. They were curious about my senior project and about the tasks regarding my project. I learned about the coloring station and the mixes of colors to make another color hair dye. It was very intresting. Overall it was a good simple day at the salon. I plan on completeing my last 5 hours on one day this week.

Yesterday i complete another five hours for my capstone project. I arrived and as always i had a challenge of finding parking in san francisco is always hard. I went in and observed as clients came in and got there hair done in many different ways. The place is underconstruction so it was pretty busy in there today. People coming in and out, differnt clients at differnt times. It was nice watching my mentor Lana helping the client and advising her so that the client would be happy with her new hairstyle when she left the mercer street salon.

On April 4th i completed 5 more hours with my mentor. I basically did the same thing as the day before i observed and took pictures of clients and the process of whatever reason it was that the client was in there for that day. The amount of people that came in that day was similar to the day before and every client seemed to have a good experience at the salon. It was nice to observe the connection that the clients and my mentor had as they talked about their days and lives. It seemed to make their experience at the salon more enjoyable and comfortable.

On April 4th i did my first 5 hours with my mentor. I went in to the salon in san francisco which to begin with was a stuggle to find parking considering it was in the city but after that i went in and got to meet the staff at the mercer salon. We waited for the clients to come for a bit but i observed the enviorment my mentor worked in. I job shadowed her for five hours that day. Throughout the day she had clients come in for different things. The first lady came in for highlights for her hair and i saw how she applied the dye to her hair and the whole process. Others came in for hair cuts and some other froe highlights as well. The day overall was fairly normal for my mentor not too but but not easy considering it was a weekday. The salon however remained busy all day.
