Yay Edgar!

Congratulations to Edgar who passed his licensing exam on Friday, July 8. This means that he can now begin to work as an assistant in our salon!

He is taking on the ‘rigors’ of an apprenticeship with Emmanuel just as Paul is now transitioning to being solely a Junior Stylist, so the timing works well.

So what’s the first step of the apprenticeship? It’s going to sound funny, but the first thing Edgar will be trained on is giving a proper shampoo. As any of you who have been to different stylists knows, not everyone does it well. Some are too vigorous, some too soft, or sloppy, or.... It’s not an obvious skill. But an important one, since that’s when you first get a feel for your stylist’s skill.
