Day 5 of 9. I’m still waking up really early, but that’s not a bad thing on this vacation. The sunrise on the ocean is spectacular. I hope everyone has a happy day!

Hose Down Your Hoo-Ha
Thoughts, stories, and insights from M.E. Nesser
Day 4 of 9. I woke up this morning thinking about a client who recently commented on how often our staff changes. Sadly, it’s a common occurrence in the beauty industry. Mark & ME is not the only salon suffering from a revolving door. Some people interview like rock stars, only to disappoint with a poor work ethic or lack of skill. Others are cocky and get defensive when we try to help them get better, which is unpleasant to work with and frustrating to say the least. Prospective workers in our field need to know that our industry is not glamorous. We work our asses off, suffer from injuries, and placate clients who will never be satisfied. Is it worth it? Absolutely! It is one of the most rewarding jobs out there. We make people feel beautiful. You can’t put a price on that. I know we have suffered from a myriad of staff changes in the past, but we are trying to find people who have the passion and skill that will make us the best salon ever.
Day 3 of 9. I had a woman tell me The Happy Trail was my best happy book yet. She said it was better written. She loved that Raul wrote the book and not M.E. She also loved the addition of the poetry. Her endorsement made my day! You may have to download your copy on Amazon.
Day 2 of 9 sans hairy friends. The pad of my thumb on my ripping hand keeps cramping. Is that how it plans on relaxing? I don’t think it understands the definition of vacation.
A client brought me a bottle of champagne, because she missed her appointment yesterday and didn’t call. It was an honest mistake and I wasn’t mad. I knew she’d be in for another Brazilian at some point and that one of us had probably been confused about the date. It was a classy move, however, so I felt the need to share.
It was only a week ago that Kelly and I were on the Wease show talking about The Happy Trail and between the cheeks waxing!
This email made all of us feel so good at Mark & ME. We just had to share. I just wanted to send a note and let you guys know that you are all wonderful. I’ve been going to you guys for a Brazilian for about a year now…and every time I am there, I’m treated with wonderful service. I had Kelly today, and it was my first time with her and she was just awesome. Great personality, had me laughing the whole time. So thank you so much! I can’t wait to come back.
Now that The Happy Hoo-Ha Trilogy is finished, do I look like a romance writer?
The Happy Trail is now available on Kindle!
