Code of dress

Above is a picture of me wearing my college uniform.
The proper code of dress for college/salon is - clean tunic & trousers, black closed toe shoes, hair tied back off the face, no jewellery except a wedding band if necessary, clean short nails & light day make- up.

Reception/salon

Today we set ourselves targets for in the salon. Our lecturer also set us targets. Some of the targets I set myself where - gain more confidence answering the phone, become more confident communicating with clients. I am very pleased that I reached my targets as I answered the phone several times & had to deal with clients queries. I really enjoyed working the reception & feel more confident answering the phone & booking clients into the booking system.

Pedicures

last week at college we learned more in to detail into doing pedicures & practiced doing a foot massage. I look forward to getting more practice at doing pedicures. I also really enjoyed getting a pedicure to know how it feels & to learn that different people enjoy you using different pressure when getting a foot massage.
