Is a hard place to get a job. I have had interviews all over town and some of them seem very hopeful. A lot of the programs I have been looking into are extremely intense programs that push you to your absolute limits. I’m afraid of this, but then I tell myself that if anyone will get through it, it will be me. I’m loving my little life here. :) 

Quite romantic, no? The 21-year-old girl dream. Live in a ghetto apartment in Brooklyn and work your way up in the fashion industry. Every paycheck going into rent and a new pair of shoes. I moved to new York with $20 in my pocket and a dream. I’ve had my interview at my salon and they are having me shadow for two weeks to make sure I want to go with them. This is going to be big for me, I know it. I’m standing at the edge of something massive that spans across space and time. I left behind everything in Seattle. I left a job I liked, a boy I liked, all my worldly possessions and a really beautiful home. But this dream of mine is more important than all of it. So here we go, guys. Put your seat belts on, because we’re going off the cliff wether you like it or not!!!!!

You are so sweet! Email me! TeresaJack1303@gmail.com and I will fill out your mentorship portfolio to the best of my ability. You can skype me or something :).

Aww bb you are so sweet! You can, I am currently in the process of being a mentor to a few other Future Professionals. Being a positive influence to future professionals is what keeps me going! 

I got a phone call today that I have an interview at the salon in New York that most frequently styles the GQ models hair. This is the job that I ultimately want in the long run. I am 5 months out of beauty school. My dream just came true. WE ARE MOVING ON UP TO THE EAST SIDE!

My barber shop is located a block away from Nordstrom. It really is refreshing to see their polished gentlemen sitting in my chair. Their highly shined shoes and their well fit suits. Their posh hair cuts and well groomed facial hair. Their pocket kerchiefs, their watches, their patterned shirts and expensive ties. Even bow ties. They take care of themselves so well and they treat us with kindness. As a stylist at a high end barber shop you see all sorts of guys and they all treat you a little different. I always love my Nordstrom guys who understand my importance in their life and are just full off gratitude that I took my time with them.

So we are down to it. This is the month that I will be moving to New York City. I’m following my dream and I am about to work harder than I have ever worked in my life. I’m making a lot of personal sacrifice to follow this dream. I’m uprooting myself again and living in a 1 bedroom apartment in brooklyn with 5 other people for the sake of saving money. I am going to do this. Because of this I am re-vamping my entire portfolio. There will be lots of new men’s work coming to a screen near you very soon. I have a lot of plans but few able to release yet.

I wanted to thank all you future professionals out there for being so supportive of me and my dream. It was so nice to meet some of you at CAPER and it means a lot to me to have your support and your energy in my life. I’m just as scared about this as any 21 year old girl moving to New York City would be. But I feel like it’s going to work out. It’s going to be romantic, it’s going to be beautiful, it’s going to be crowded and some days it’s going to suck. But when you have big dreams, it is necessary. Thanks for believing in my big dreams.
