Tierra POV
I smiled watching Mika do her first client, my mom, she was just doing a silk press.
She started working at the salon officially today after completing her class last week. I was so happy for her.
She got the booth right across from mine. I let her add a little bit of her own personalization like I did all the girls and she was so happy.
For now she didn't have a shampoo girl which was cool since she was still building up her cliental.
"I can tell that's your kin" ms Deborah one of my regulars said as I took the rollers out of her hair. She was still old school and loved a good roller set.
I had a few ladies that were older and love that I still do old school hairstyles even down to the hot comb if need be. I catered to all woman and children.
I only have two male clients whose braids I do not including Taj and the boys.
"Yes that's my mom and little sister. Today is her first day in her own booth she just got her license" I said smiling ear-to-ear.
"Well congratulations to her, if she's anything like you I know she'll be filling up seats in here in no time" she said.
I nodded.
"I taught her all she knows and we grew up watching my mama do hair" I said.
She nodded "keeping it in the family I know that's right" she said.
Once I finished she paid me cash and then I introduced her to my mom and Mika and I saw her out.
I came back in and went to Mika seeing she was finishing up.
"How you feeling" I asked.
"I feel like I'm dreaming, like imma wake up and still just be your shampoo girl" she said.
I pinched her.
"Owe" she said.
"Mocha" my mom said hitting my leg.
"It's real" I said to Mika.
"Girl" my mom said rolling her eyes.
"Now she know" I said.
"Girl gone head. Don't you gotta go get ready for them pictures tomorrow" my mom asked.
"What pictures" Mika asked.
"We're doing Family Christmas pictures this year. Ma you still coming right" I asked.
"Yes send me the address" my mom said.
"Just come to the house tomorrow around 7 and you can ride with us" I said.
"Or we can just stay the night because I want to come. I don't have a client tomorrow" Mika said.
"You don't want to try any walk ins" I asked her confused.
She shook her head.
"I have 5 more people you know to just build up my resume and then I'll start doing walkins. I don't want people thinking they can play with me, I need my receipts" she said.
"Baby this is Tierras salon and Tierra only allows the best of the best to work up in here" I said.
"Okay" I heard Chyna say.
I nodded to her.
"I know but you know people gone talk and say I'm only here cause it's your shop and that's sort of the case but I still want to make a name for myself" she said.
