MY WORKING DAY

On weekdays the alarm-clock wakes me up at 6.30 and my working day begins. I'm not an early riser, that's why it's very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially in winter. I switch on my tape-recorder and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom, take a warm shower, clean my teeth and brush my hair. After that I go to my bedroom to get dressed.

Usually my mother makes breakfast for me. But when she is away on business, I make breakfast myself.

I leave the house at 7.30 and go to the bus stop. The college where I study is far enough from my house. It takes me an hour and a half to get there. I go by bus to nearest underground station. The bus is very crowded - rush- hours. Sometimes in the train of underground I am lucky enough to find a seat and to read a book.

I usually have 3-4 lectures a day. The lectures begin at 9.30. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon I have lunch in the college canteen.

I come home at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I am very glad if my parents are at home, waiting for me. We have dinner together. Then we sit in the living room, drink tea, watch TV or just talk. By the end of the week I get very tired.

What do people go to a hairdresser's for? Certainly, for beauty.

Making people beautiful a hairdresser presents joy to them: ”Service is a Maker of good mood”. A hairdresser must always be in good mood; otherwise all hopes of a client (customer) for good mood will not come true.

A hairdresser should be an emotional, communicative and sociable person. It is necessary to speak to clients to find out their habits, likes and dislikes, to know what they want. In other words, a hairdresser must be a good psychologist.

To be competitive, a hairdresser should create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that will make clients enjoy their visits to his (her) salon so much they will not want to go to another.

A hairdresser should be willing to learn and keep an open mind, because fashion changes very quickly.

Besides, a hairdresser must be an artist, because a suitable hairdo and a good make-up can underline beautiful features and conceal flaws of the face and even of the figure.

The work of a hairdresser is like the work of an engineer. S/he must have imagination to be able to change his/her clients' image to the best.

At the same time s/he is a doctor - he suggests medical aids for skin and hair treating and curing.

The work of a hairdresser is a constant search for beauty.
