This week has been on the same "admin job track" as last week! Lots of to-do things that have been tackled and a good mix between creativity and musts :)
The film application for TV programs
Then I also helped make a video for a person who is going to apply for a TV show. Even though it was not a job, I have been able to use my make-up skills, film equipment and also edited the entire film! It was so cool! An evening project this week :)
Happy staff room!
We have set up a large whiteboard in the staff room (where we also have our meetings) where we will, among other things, write down everyone's to do's after the meetings. For example. was one thing on the action plan (where we list all the do's) from the last meeting to buy pencils for the whiteboard and when I came to work one day it was so nice in there:
Annika has bought pens and magnets and also pasted on our logo (in different colors) on all magnets so each magnet is a Creative Makeup logo! The finishing touch - just like our brand! ;)
Clearer descriptions of permanent makeup variants
When you tattoo permanent makeup, there are several different variants you can choose from, not only "eyeliner" and "lips" but you can make the eyeliner thin, wide, up + down, sharp, smoky, a little drawn out, different colors etc.
Most details you get help to decide on the spot if you are unsure, you draw before you get a tattoo so you can see the result before. But what you need to decide before is the size so that you book the right amount of time and can see before what the price will end up at.
The same is with lips, you can make an intoned contour, 3D / ombre, the whole lips in the same color and add highlights :)
Therefore, I have taken pictures of one eye and lips that Annika has drawn all the variations on so that you can clearly see the difference! Before, we only showed pictures of tattoos that we have done, but when everyone has different eyes, it has not become as clear.
Here is the result:
Surely it is clear and good? :) If you are wondering more about the different variants, you can read on ours website!
Eyeliner LIGHT is actually a new eyeliner that we added when we noticed that there is too much jump between lashliner and medium, there are many who want wider than lashliner (thinnest you can do, right in the lash root, just as narrow all the way) but that they do not want to be quite as wide as medium which is a clear eyeliner over the French edge.
As I said, you can vary the eyeliner a lot, all the above variants are under the price range "Medium". The smoky ones are also two-colored in both black and brown. But if you are unsure, it is enough to book "Eyeliner medium up" or "Eyeliner medium up + down", we will help to decide the rest of the details at the salon later :)
Here are the pictures of the different lip variants:
Fint va? :) The color we drew with is quite dark to clearly show the differences, but there are lots of colors to choose from and you can make very light as well or match your own lip color completely if you just want a slightly sharper shape or adjust symmetry.
If you want to make your lips bigger, it goes under the same price range, the only thing you need to decide is one of the above variants :)
Prices and html codes
Doing all variations on permanent makeup has been a teamwork between me and Annika, but what was most work for me was actually to edit the new info everywhere! The website, the price list, the booking system and then explain all the changes to the rest of the colleagues as well.
And when I started rowing I came up with more improvements that we changed, it is not interesting to print exactly everything but I had a long list of improvements that I brought up with Annika and it became a project that took me the next whole day to get ready! Exhaled and felt really happy when I was done :)
When you change the price list on the website, I do it not in plain text but in html codes. So it's a little puzzle! So a simple point like "change in the price list on the website" takes quite a lot of time.
Problem solving and coding when you sleep!
I feel so good every time I work alone until I go to sleep and think it's so nice to get a lot done on the evening twig, I kind of have nothing against it. But once I go to sleep, I'm up in work mode and find it very difficult to fall asleep. I need a quiet moment in between to unwind my head! And when I finally fall asleep, I dream stress dreams about work instead, like all night!
This is exactly what happened on Thursday BUT the dream of the job still led to a good thing which was a bit fun haha.
It is difficult to explain quickly, but we have briefly different measurement documents where we enter statistics, such as excel, and it is a thing that we have changed, which means that twice a month I need to calculate a little on the calculator, which is not difficult at all but you prefer to just write everything and then the document takes care of itself. Streamlining :)
But in the dream, I came up with a solution with how I could change the codes so that it counted correctly by itself. Sick dream I know, I have not even really put much thought into this. I was so curious when I got to work, realized what I had dreamed and would test if it actually worked, you know dreams are not always so logical, but listen and be amazed it turned out just fine haha!
So happy what I then haha!
Hairology meeting & rehearsal training
This week I have had a meeting with Diana who is our contact person at Hårologi, we meet regularly and it is always just as rewarding! Mainly we talk about how everything goes, plan new trainings (I will for example go to a thing in Gävle in March and in addition our barber will be trained as a hairologist as well) but also we run rehearsals so that all knowledge from the training kept fresh in the memory :)
Because I can say that the education is really useful for food, so repetition is super important even for me who is nerdy and rarely forgets things that are interesting. But there is so much to keep track of with the hair's various crosslinks, pH values etc.
But above all, this meeting has led me to prepare a rehearsal lesson for all the other hair pathologists at the salon as well! They have exactly the same education as me + help more customers with Hairology than I do, but these "geeky skills" that I delve into are very good that everyone repeats!
Here I sit with Viktoria in front of the fire and prepare some questions about Hairology! Thought this was unreasonably fun, the most fun thing about talking to Diana is getting to talk to someone who is also passionate about products and is interested in really in-depth knowledge. In this case how the hair works, why makes the products different etc. So much fun!
New month!
This week was a new month again, which means new campaign pictures to be published (and exactly EVERY screen in the salon was a hassle, how sick) and then the salaries from February will be fixed, statistics and budget documents will be made. So I've been sitting with some of that too.
Now I'm going to Uppsala and celebrate my friend Frida's birthday today woop woop!
Have a great Sunday everyone ♥
