Blog 18: 2- Hour Meeting Answer #3

1.  What is your essential question?
     How can a stylist best satisfy their clientele?

2.  What is your third answer to your essential question (write your third answer in a complete sentence)?
     My third answer to my essential question is customer service to the client.

3.  What are three details to support or justify your third answer (details are examples or facts)?
When I do my service earning at my mentor's salon, I notice the way she treats her clients. I know this sounds cheese but she always greets them with a smile. She also talks to them about how they want their hair to look like while doing their hair at the same time. In the book Cosmetology Career Starter By Lorraine Korman and Primeau Felice, it explains how one should treat their clients. One that I remember the most is to never get involved in their affairs. In the book Standard Textbook of Cosmetology By Constance V. Kibbe it also mentions how dressing professionally and acting professionally towards the client then they will be more comfortable getting a hair cut from the stylist

5.  What do you plan to study next and why? 

I plan to study the behaviors of the stylist, not only towards clientele but to co-workers as well. I also plan to study the behavior of clients due to the way the stylist acts toward them.

Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2

1. What is your essential question?
My essential question is "How can a stylist best satisfy their clientele?".

2. What is your second answer to your essential question?
My second answer for my EQ is knowing how to handle the different types of hair on different clients.

3. What are three details to support or justify your answer?
Three details that can support my answer is that different ethnicities have different types of textures. For example, Native Americans and Asians usually have straight hair and African Americans usually have curly and kinky hair. Hair can also be thin, medium, or thick and adding volume to the hair can depend on the way it is cut. Hair can also be "smooth" or "frizzy" depending on the person.

4.What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?
The source that helped me prove this answer was doing my mentorship and a book that I found called Standard Textbook of Cosmetology by Constance V. Kibbe.

5.What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why?
I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing more mentorship and finding more research on why hair behaves the way it does and more on what makes the different types of hair textures.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1. For my independent component, I am planning to continue doing mentorship hours

2. This will meet the 30 hours requirement because I will keep working under my mentor and I will bee adding more than the required hours to my mentorship log.

3. My independent study component relates to my working EQ because I get to see what a stylist does and how they behave with a customer. Likewise, I get to see what exactly the customer acts like and the different reasons they go back to my mentor's salon
