Through a Stylists Eyes by Lana Carmona of Hair Loft Salon and Spa

6AM: Wake up, shower; yes you do have to do your hair and makeup, yes you should always look 100%

8:30AM: Order color, training for 2 hours with my associate to help build her career

11:00AM: Start my clients for the day… 11:45, 12:30, 1:15 and so on, taking a different guest every 45 minutes. And yes, that adds up to 11 clients in one day that I get to make beautiful

8:30PM: Get home, go into wife and mommy mode, and eat dinner

10:30PM: Go to bed

Lana Carmona

Sounds crazy right? Not to me! I love my career—everyday, all day, I truly love what I do! I get to make my mark on the world, with my hands, my words and my heart. I get to stand tall (Literally, 10-12 hours a day), and make a difference in my guests eyes. As people touch my heart, I get the opportunity to touch theirs, being their get away from reality. I get to build up better and brighter futures for new stylists coming out into our world by training them, helping them and guiding them into their future.

As a stylist, we have a crazy, busy, hectic schedule but when Aubrey comes in at 1:15 today, I get excited. Remember to always inspire yourself because you’re the only one that can take charge of your future. I’m happy because I know I count, I know I made a difference in someone else’s life and that is why I love my career
