I specialize in only doing females hair and you know just looking to get into DC and get back to
work and okay I really want to find a place where I can do some hair and you know it's going to take
me a minute to get some clientele built up but you know I know my work is good okay well I am in a
high traffic area and I think this would be a great area for you just coming in from another state
is it possible you could come in and take a look and see what you can you know I'd love I'd love to
come in and take a look and see what I don't want to know type of work environment you have and so

setup is yes that's how it's set up however I do actually have a you actually have a suite I do
have a suite it's a double suite so there is room for another technician but you know with it being
for the person that's going to come in and work for you.
Yeah, right, right, because you're going to be working real close to each other.

Private hair specialist.
Have you worked with a private hair specialist before?
Well, I would consider myself private because I'm in a suite,
but you would be working out in the open with myself,
so I don't know how private you would be.
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't understand where I'm coming from.
