Where you work: Primarily out of Salon Arista in Puyallup, WASHINGTON, but I'm pretty mobile.

Your website: www.saloncenter.com/Jewels22185

SC: You're new to SalonCenter...what attracted you to sign up for this service?
JM: I found it on myspace and thought it was a great way to keep track of my business and a wonderful way to get my name out there.

SC: Have you found that being a Salon Center member has increased your business?
JM: I deffinitely think that anytime you can get yourself out there it helps your business. And having a way to keep track of your clients without alot of paper has deffinitely helped.

SC: Highlight some personal or professional breakthroughs, thoughts or experiences in your career.
JM: One of my biggest personal breakthoughs was the realization that you really have to do hair because you love it, and if you stop loving it and get caught up in all the drama of a salon, you will not last very long.

SC: Describe your worst experience doing hair.
JM: When cutting my first clients hair, she was very fond of her long hair and i was just going to cut 2 inches, but as the cut progressed, i ended up taking about 6 or 7 inches. Thank goodness she was nice about it and understood that it was my first time.

SC: You really did that?
JM: Yes, but I've seen worse done!

SC: If you could do any celebraties hair who would it be and why?
JM: Johnny Depps, because he can wear any look and make it look good, so he would be open to being creative.

SC: Describe your most memorable moment doing hair.
JM: I had to take over a friends client, and she had done an amazing job doing this beautiful color job on her, and i was so scared i couldnt retouch it with the same lines. But 1 1/2 later she was done and it looked flawless.

SC: Talk about a client who has influenced you professionally or personally (in a positive way) and what affect that had on you.
JM: I started doing my boss' hair, and the first time i tried, i messed it up. But she just came right back. She is always very encouraging and she never cares what we do. She has complete trust in me as a stylist. Not to mention all the personal stuff she has talked me though these last few months. She thinks i can do anything, and that helps whenver you are wondering what to do next.
