i'm sure your co workers wouldn't mind sharing some pointers with you,go in and ask someone if, when they are not busy, to give you a quick runthrough of the color line. then maybe you can observe other stylists coloring hair while you are not with a client to get a feel for the mixing etc, and results.you could tell your manager not to book you any colors until you familiarize yourself with this line, but--

eventually chad, you just gotta jump in and do it! be brave!!!

thanks gals,

I was just a little sad that they put me right out on the floor after I had explained my bad regis experience being done that way back in 2005. and they assured me i would get the training i needed at jcp during my interview.i do know that they have classes twice a month that the stylist go to so maybe thats what they were referring too.  Anyway i have talked to a stylist there who has been in the industry for 20 yrs and had her own salon in another state before moving to nc and she has been with JCP fo 2 years, so i think she will work with me and she will be somewhat of a mentor to me..

I just dont want to quit and get discouraged again. i want to be braver this time, but im scared of getting my first client again,. ill prob be shaking and sweating :-P ill try to fake it till i makeit though :-)

Hey,

I just found out that they want you to supply all your combs and brushes and rollers at JC Pennys salon... at least when i was at Regis they supplied it all. I even have to supply my own hair dryer at JC Penny, I kinda expected then to supply that since its a chain salon... Anyway the other day the manager asked us to bring in our own tweezers for waxing ,she said she got in trouble by the store manager for buying new tweezers for the salon!  what will be next us having to bring in our own wax too :-(

Im so not happy there but will be there through the holidays and hopefully things will seem better.

ps sorry to hear Ulta treated you bad Sarah
