Being a hairstylist is so much more than just the technical part of being able to style hair. Being a colorist takes knowledge of the color wheel and formulating to create a vision. Cutting hair takes knowledge of the shape of the head, different face shapes, different textures of hair, how to positions your body, and how to hold the hair to achieve a desired look. It takes more training to become a great hair dresser than just cosmetology school. Continued education is our foundation. Further than that we are in the people pleasing business, customer service is our industries number one priority. As a hairstyles you are looked up to, to be fashion forward with hair trends, and fashion trends. As a commission based stylist you are responsible for client retention of at least 50% and to sell product determined on service sales. Being a stylist is 80% personality, 40% technical.

I developed a system “new thinking for mastering effectiveness in a changing world” known as QuantumThink. The QuantumThink system is comprised of 21 principles and practices for the mind and awareness that enables us to take command of our life by learning the way our habits of thinking affect our experiences and outcomes. In 1997 I trademarked this new system of thinking, QuantumThink(r). In the QuantumThink principles–known as “distinctions in thinking–I draw upon a wide ranges of sources from cutting edge innovations in the sciences to the insights of the world’s great teachers of ageless and spiritual wisdom. I put it all together into practical living wisdom that makes sense of our changing world and teaches us to integrate new levels of awareness toward our own mastery in expressing what we are uniquely here to express for ourselves and the world.

Kate Fairley
I was an overachiever in high school, getting a 92.65 ENTER score, but because I was so good at everything it was so difficult to pick a career path. I got into Law at Deakin so that’s what I did for a year & a half, but I found I wasn’t passionate about it and didn’t think it was worth spending another 4 years to come to the same conclusion. The first place that hired me was an insurance brokerage in a reception role, and it was here, after I’d stopped learning, that I realised that was my passion. I was good at everything (not great, just good) because I was excellent at learning. It took me a while but I eventually gained the confidence to take a chance on myself and move to an Account Manager position with another brokerage where I also started my Bachelor of Commerce (part time, off campus). After 18 months there I moved to an Assistant Underwriter position with an Underwriting Agency where I was given the opportunity to take control of their business processes and played an integral role in helping the business become profitable again …
