Hi everyone, im starting my beauty studies soon but have an issue with confidence and feel knocked back from a previous job...
i had an apprentice job back last year in hairdressing i had just started there (second week) and loved it at first, but after 2 weeks of just being there new i was having proplems with the manager. she would show me how to wash clients hair, offer drinks, answer phone etc, but i had a proplem as she would show me once and then expect me to do shampooing and getting colour out of hair at 100%, and would ask for highlight set ups when shed not shown me at all where things were i felt as though i was on eggshells at work and was not confident enough to stand up for myself when she shouted, i did confront her and say i was a new apprentice and could she show me again how to get colour out of hair properly and she just was really angry and would not show me again. I ended up soaking a woman whilst shampooing and ended up crying infront of clients, at one point she even snatched a hairbrush off me whilst i was brushing a clients hair because i was "brushing the hair too slow"... anyway long story short i quit that salon after trying to sort my issues out with her, and the manager said i was not strong enough to work in a salon environment :sad: this has then really knocked my confidence as i am due to start my beauty therapy studies and i really want to do well in class as its my dream to work as a spa therapist, but i am put off by what happend in my previous apprentice job, and scared i will lack so much confidence :sad: :sad:
