What in your opinion is the most rewarding thing about working as a hair stylist?

My clients are amazed and happy with the work that I deliver.

When you meet that customer that has not had a great experience with a previous stylist, how do you make them comfortable while in your chair?

Make sure they teach different techniques on braiding and weaving and anything that is in the beautician field.
