I find my anxiety makes me doubt my ability, even though all my friends come to me for colour advice. I'm stuck in a salon as an assistant even though I'm qualified, and the boss told me straight up she doesn't hire college.students.
In fact when I was in the same room, she was.telling a client that college trained are.slow and don't know the real world.
But doing hair from home.helps a lot, once I get into it I find I relax more. I do hide it quite well I think
Might be time for a change of scene then. How rude of her. And damaging for your confidence. Find a job elsewhere with people who value you and your work. She clearly doesn't.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I feel like I have recently started dealing with anxiety while working in my first salon. I'm honestly scared to death to do color because I feel like there's so much to learn and different reasons why you need to do different things when it comes to color. I hate asking the people I work with for help when because every time I've asked, it doesn't turn out like I expect it to. I feel like I have to figure it out myself sometimes, rather than asking other people but I'm such a perfectionist and I doubt myself constantly. I start getting panic attacks in the back because I'm so nervous the client will be unhappy with their hair. Anyone else have this problem or how to deal with it? [emoji31]
I suffer anxiety really bad I've been at my salon for 5 years now but when I first went in for experience I walked straight past and burst into tears terrified of asking for work so I called instead and still got it! My boss left a year ago now and it's now my salon. My confidence has improved amazingly but I still have moments of panic doubting myself. Am I the only one afraid of doing friends hair or people that you know? Because I hate it and tend to pass them on. It's just a fear of mine I can't yet get over but I am getting there!
I doubt myself all the time to the point that I'm second guessing myself, its a horrible feeling when panic starts to set in xxI'm glad I'm not the only one!
