I Use To Be A Hustla..

Before this bought with depression, anxiety, and unemployment; I use to be one money making chica. I worked a full time job and did hair on the side every chance I got. Ran to NY every chance I got because money wasn't a issue. Even had a guy who hated the fact that I didn't give him the attention and time he wanted, when I really was. (Went to work, braided hair, and went to see him during the witching hour which was perfect since he would be getting off work at that time.) I miss those days so much. I'm looking for a real job because this babysitting shit is so in the way, I want and need more money to live this lifestyle I somehow created for myself. Yeah, I'm living at home but I would love to be on my own, in my own space, doing whatever I please. I wonder what happened to my hustler ambition, it just disappeared over the last 2 years..

I may have to give up....

Braiding hair that is.. Not on life.. Carpal tunnel syndrome is no joke. My hands randomly ache for days on end from doing the slightest things. Its so bad that I almost couldn't finish a client's hair. I think I'm going to have to find alternative ways to do hair without killing myself in the process. The best solution I've came up with is to stop offering braids that take long periods of time to do aka the real money makers: kinky twists, box braids, micros, individuals; and stick to sew in weaves. They take half the time, I get a chance to cut and style, and I actually enjoy the transformation.. So, I am officially saying GOOD BYE to braiding hair. (Well unless a old client hits me up).
