Den här veckan skulle jag beskriva som intensiv! Det har varit många olika projekt blandat med allt vanligt “dagligt arbete” som ska hinnas med utöver :) Så det har blivit långa dagar och noll ledighet så när som på en fika med Frida som vi lyckades klämma in efter lite pusslande i schemat haha!
A very fun week then!
Planning and brainstorming meeting
Me, Miska and Annika had a cozy planning meeting at Annika's house where we had a long agenda! For several hours we sat and worked, me and Miska came home 23 the night before.
Vi gick igenom alla större saker som vi inte hinner prata igenom på en kvart på salongen (som med alla småbeslut) och det var blandat med saker som vi behövde fixa och bestämma direkt och saker som är lite mer “drömmiga” och förberedande som man måste prata och tänka igenom innan man kan ta besluten om det längre fram :)
Here is Annika using large tiles as whiteboards to write on. It's full of whiteboards at her house, so much fun :)
Teeth whitening
Soon a new colleague will start with us with teeth whitening! Mia will start with a few dates from time to time already in April and then at the end of the summer she will work with us even more. She tested our bleaching equipment on me this week!
Man är ju fruktansvärt snygg alltså! Jag är en bra person att öva på då jag har “väldigt annorlunda söta tänder som är lite svårare” som vår tidigare tandblekare Alexander beskrev dom haha. Det var ju tur att jag vägrade tandställning i grundskolan så att mina tänder kan komma till användning i företaget ;)
Meetings
Flera utvecklingsmöten har jag haft med kollegorna också, både en timme med hela teamet men också enskilda möten med 30 minuter per person. Väldigt givande som vanligt! :) Efter varje möte vi har tillsammans så ger alla feedback om hur mötet var, och två veckor i rad har det varit “mycket to do-punkter på Helena”. Jag har så lätt att ta på mig saker som andra egentligen kan göra, jag tänker “det går snabbare om jag gör det” och “det är bättre om dom fokuserar på nått annat så fixar jag det här” vilket stämmer till viss del men är varken smart eller effektivt i längden.
“Bli bättre på att delegera” är fortfarande en punkt på min personliga utvecklingslista haha!
Campaign photos for April
Next week will be April and I have been busy with the campaign pictures before that! Malin and I (who otherwise do these) helped each other this month as she had so many other jobs to prioritize :)
We will market my Beauty guides posts a little extra so I made this picture for it:
Surely it turned out pretty nice? :)
Hairdresser training with a focus on dry hair
On Wednesday, my barber Niclas and I went to Gävle for a hair pathologist training where we immersed ourselves in dry hair and scalp.
Jag är ju utbildad hårolog sedan tidigare och nu är jag ännu mer fördjupad i ämnet! Det är såå intressant att ni anar inte! Jag älskar att få nörda ner mig, prata om molekyler, pH-värden och olika case “den här personen har lockigt hår, styrka 5 och sträckbarhet 5 och upplever sitt hår som jättetorrt i topparna fast det enligt värdena inte är det, vad rekommenderar du för produkter och vad blandar du i produkterna för extra bra effekt?”.
Niclas was impressed with me on the way home, that I know so much even though I am not a hairdresser and was at the same level of knowledge as other hairdressers. But hair care products are not about being able to cut and color, but to be incredibly interested in products and skin care and understand how the hair is built. I have to write a long blog post about all this I feel! :)
Back in the school desk then :) I thrive in that role and am so grateful that I came in contact with Hårologi which feels like the most serious hair care brand. Diana comes to us regularly and not to sell us news or more products but just to rehearse our knowledge and make sure we keep everything fresh in our minds, can ask questions we have thought about etc. It is difficult to find someone who is so passionate much for hair like Diana does, here is a person who knows what she's talking about, I'm so impressed with her! :)
Film a sweet Easter greeting
Next week is Easter! So cozy and you know what? Annika who has hens for the first time in her life has got chickens !!! How cute? They hatched last weekend and Annika kept us updated via text message!
We just had to include them in a sweet greeting when we wish all our followers and customers a Happy Easter on social media :) We built a small studio with products and props!
Behind the scenes:
Annika fixed the props! We were at her house so we just borrowed the chickens from the mother, so you do not think we took them to the salon for a whole day or achieved such a terrible thing haha.
Model chicken! Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet!
Pip pip pip pip pip! So sweet that you collapse!
We are called @ Creativemakeup.se on Instagram and Facebook, if you want to go in and see the film, we will publish it some day a week.
Saturday job and many customers
This week it was a 6-day week at the salon because we had so many bookings on Saturday that I came in and took customers. Very funny! I have taken before and after pictures of the three make-up customers I had this week, so you will see that in the blog soon! I have also had many fringe and brow customers, it is noticeable that it is spring and everyone is starting to wake up to life :)
Sunday job
Do you want to see how I sit and work right now, you have a film clip on my Insta Story (@ imakeyousmile.se) when I work in the sun on our terrace. Coffee, Spanish music and a playful boyfriend :) Really cozy! It will remain on Instagram for 24 hours.
Since, as I said, I had a lot of small projects this week, I lag behind in my normal daily work a lot, which I now take back. Because I will not have time to do much tomorrow either because first I will go to Disruptive Materials and make up 12 people then quickly back to the salon because I have a customer after kl. 15.
But instead of feeling tired, it's better to make it a great time! Warm sun and happy music that gives a real energy boost! Really have no problem sitting here and doing good! :)
Have a great end to this wonderful week everyone!
I myself will take a quick break and sit down with the coffee cup and some Digestive biscuits on the stairs in the sun before I make one last jerk for this week :)
Hugs are!
