Phoning the SalonWhat does Mel Johnson talk about, behind the chair in her world?
After being a hairdresser and working successfully behind the chair for 32 years. I think back to when I started my own journey due to a fear I experienced about 17 years ago. I suddenly realised that many hairdressers around me seemed to have poor health in later years! Reflecting back I turned this negative into positive for myself.
I decided I was going to be different, I was going to remain behind the chair looking after my mind , body and spirit,god willing for many years! Hence my passion for taking on new challenges began.
What an amazing 17 year journey that has been! I do love the experiences I have had and I now feel it is important to share how I give back my many lessons learnt, from the amazing teachers and people I have met. I hope I will inspire other people and share with them my extensive knowledge and my love of learning.
I use my creativity and intuition in many ways to guide people on a positive road.
Let me start sharing with you on my blog, my present world, spreading my wings. So please read on and hear what I talk about behind the chair and yes you are right!! I won’t be writing about the weather .
