There are certain factors that will influence how long it takes you to succeed in your career:  continuing education, the environment you choose, proper guidance, experience and a lot of initiative on your part!

Choose a positive environment to bloom in! As a young stylist you need support and guidance. Skip the “Hollywood Glitz and Glam” front of many salons and focus on finding a “Team” environment. Having co-workers/managers who support you and want you to succeed can really be a game changer. Be comfortable in your salon. You spend more time there then you do at home, make sure it is a good fit for you and your future goals! Hopefully, you work in a salon that offers education and training! If not, seek continuing education on your own. Never stop developing and feeding your creative soul! Your passion will shine thru and make you stand out!  Some of you may require a longer training period; while others may be able to succeed in a shorter time period. The speed of your development will depend on you and your willingness to learn. Be open minded, and put in the effort! Yes, there will be up’s and downs, learn from your mistakes and continue to grow!
