25 Jun Apprentice Journal – Week 2: Updos, Braiding & Classic Pedicures

Apprentice Journal – Week 2 at Rejuvenation Spa

Updos, Braiding & Classic Pedicures

Hi again! It’s Chloe, checking in for Week 2 of my cosmetology apprenticeship at Rejuvenation Spa. This week has been all about building confidence through repetition — and it’s starting to pay off!

I spent time working on more updos, both on mannequins and a few of my friends (thank you to everyone who let me practice!). I’m continuing to sharpen my technique with Marcel curling irons, which has made such a difference in how my updos hold and look overall.

I also worked on some braiding variations, learning how to control tension and blend braids seamlessly into styles. It’s so satisfying to see everything come together.

And guess what? I did my first few classic pedicures this week — and I loved it! I’m excited to say I’ll be on the books for pedicure appointments very soon, so keep an eye out if you’d like to be one of my first guests!

Every day I feel a little more confident. The biggest thing I’m learning is how important repetition and hands-on practice are when it comes to mastering new skills. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to show you more next week!

Thanks for following along
— Chloe, Rejuvenation Spa Apprentice
