I'm so excited to be starting this blog. I feel like it's a much easier and better idea than making a work log and showing it to my advisor. I hope you enjoy what I have to show/teach you and you take away some of it. I have LOVED being at Xcell. It has honestly made me want to drop out of college and just do that. But that's against my better judgment. I know that I need to get a 4 (or 5) year degree. I've come so far, why not stick it out! Anyway, I have come to love this place. The other day when someone asked me about the commute I said, jokingly, "I don't live in Tuscaloosa, I come visit for a couple hours and to sleep then I go back home to Birmingham." That's obviously just a joke for me, because I know Tuscaloosa is my home away from home home (Arkansas).
Here is how Xcell works. When you enter Xcell you go straight into Core, then Protege, then Adaptive, then Creative. Core is the first 6 weeks of school. It is basically a crash course in cosmetology. Each week has a specific topic to focus on, anywhere from bacic hair shaping to coloring to cutting. Protege is a 4 week period that slowly eases you to work on the clinic floor and on Saturdays you get to shadow a creative mentor. As you get into adaptive and creative, you will get your own guests. The only difference between these two steps in the program, as I have gathered thus far is that when creative is on the clinic floor in the moring, adaptive is in theory class, and then creative has theory class adaptive is on the clinic floor in the afternoon. Another difference is Creative is more like the salon world, so you get to learn more tricks of the trade.
So here's how I'm going to set this blog up: I am going to write a post, or two, depending on the length, for each week we did in core, not necessarily in order, and then a post every few days I will have as I get into protege, adaptive, and creative. Now that I have to catch up a bit I'm going to have to compile a lot together. I hope you enjoy it!
