Road to becoming a Barber

I am on my way to becoming a master barber.

Although, it takes 10 years, or 3,650 days, to master the skill of barbering and I have 3,636 days to go and I am so down for the ride. With 2 weeks complete, I am excited to be a part of the Long Island Barber Institute (LIBI), the only accredited barbering institute in Long Island, NY. I am also honored to be a  part of the 1st ALL FEMALE class at LIBI. S/O to  @sweep_the_leg_jonna, my classmate and everyone at the Long Island Barber Institute. I am excited to see NaturalCurlJunkie expand and gain skills from an institute that truly has my best interest at heart. 

This is truly an experience of a lifetime.

Darrin "DL" Lyons @dlmasterbarber gave an inspirational speech on Monday to the students, instructors, and admin staff at LIBI. In case you don't know (because I didn't), Mr. DL is the creator of the "Juice fade." The iconic fade worn by the late Tupac Shakur in the classic movie "Juice." We were all mesmerized and captivated by his gripping words of wisdom. It was like music to my ears and affirmed that I was making a life changing decision with endless possibilities. His 5 Rules to Success, which happen to be very close to my own were, (1) God First (amen), (2) Self, (3) Family, (4) Business, (5) Friends; and in that order. Barbering does not end behind the chair. The opportunities that arise in the tonsorial industry lead many not just into barbering, but into education, business management, traveling, and networking. I am excited that I am at an institution that really focuses on each student's success. From the instructors and students, the admin staff truly encourage everyone to be successful.

Success is a CHOICE...Your choice!
