1BADBRAND THE HAIR STYLIST

I am Brand D. Professional licensed hair stylist and makeup artist. I've always been into beauty, so it only felt right to pursue my career in the beauty industry as a Cosmetologist.

 I began my journey in this field back in 2008. At the time I wasn't really motivated to be in school for hair or makeup. I did it because it was something that came easy to me and just knew I would get through it and be on my way to being a stylist. But after only putting in 473 credit hours of work, I left and chose to work in retail.

I managed fashion retail stores like Ashley Stewart and DOTS. But after seven years of working a REGULAR 9-5, dealing with too many personalities; I just couldn't take the HEADACHE anymore. I was too young to be under so much pressure and stress to try to please 'over worked and under paid' higher management. I soon realized this is not the path for me; agreed I enjoy being helpful to the public, I love the conversations with random people on a daily basis and the ability to gain a level of trust with customers.  But it just wasn't ENOUGH for me to say "IM DOING THIS FOREVER AND EVER".

EPHINANY a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.

Just like that I had one ^ !!! Back to Cosmetology school I went. Nothing stopped me, I had my third child while in my studies, worked part time, and did it in ONE YEAR TWO WEEKS to be exact.
THE REST IS HISTORY

Currently I am my own my boss and only cater to ME, MY BEAUTIFUL CLIENTELE(really they are all a blessing and teach me a lot even when they don't know they're schooling me) and ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GRACE MY PRESENCE AND TAKE A TURN WITH ME BRAND D.

Moment of transparency It has been hard my whole life trying to keep my weight under control. But I had to learn I HAVE THE REMOTE CONTROL to ME! So one had to learn how to control my eating habits, how to control my thoughts of putting my self down when I didn’t reach a goal I had set. I was setting unattainable goals. Like it’s December and my bday is in January so I’m bout loose this belly, up this butt and drop like 3 dresses all In 30days!!!! Like how sway?! It took me how many years of an unhealthy diet and no consistent exercising to get here and NOW just because I’m trying to fit into this dress on my born day I’m magically about to be all the “goals” I wanted to be in 30days??? No way my beautiful dreamer. Grace and patience is what one had to give thyself, it was going to and still has to take time to get them “goals” .  Nothing short of great in this world happened over night. But I’m a goal getter, so I had to set obtainable goals.  If one has never been he
I AM VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I WILL BE WORKING WITH LONI SWAIN OF WGCI TO DO HAIR. Networking can be great and so can word of mouth. It is very important to keep a good work ethic,positive attitude, and positive energy anytime you work with anyone. You never know who you could come across when you do gigs. I just so happen to be doing the make-up for models, at an upcoming jewelry designer(Kim Essex of ESSEXORIES) a few weeks ago and the ladies loved my work. The designer has a daughter whose involved in the broadcasting/media world(Briana Fachon Daniels like her FB) and she was at the show and we talked about my talents; next thing I know I'm checking my emails and there is opportunity waiting for me.....now the rest is going to be my history. BUT THIS GOES TO SHOW YOU, OPPORTUNITY SOMETIMES COMES KNOCKING AND WHEN IT DOES YOU MUST ANSWER IT OR IT WON'T COME AGAIN, BUT OFTEN TIMES, OPPORTUNITY DOESN'T KNOCK YOU MUST KICK THAT DOOR DOWN AND GO IN FULL FORCE (OPTIMUS

ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE YOUR FUTURE

Anyone who knows me knows hair/make-up is my thing, I'm getting back into 'my craft' now. I took a couple of years for me to realize that I needed to work with my craft inside of against it;and for years I did. I've always been into fashion and spent last six years of my life managing fashion retail in popular chain stores, but that's not for me anymore. Thursday I quite my job to pursue my career,to take charge of my future. I'm a little  scared of what's to come but I'm going to keep faith in me and what I know I'm capable of and its waaaayyy more than what I was doing. Everyone is like,'I don't know why you quit hair school in the first place'. I just tell them it wasn't for YOU to figure out, I had to be ready. http://www.bobparsons.me/bp_16_rules.php?ci=21428   check out this link it is  very helpful for hopefuls
