Summary
Hi, my name is Abby Mendez. I am currently enrolled at Pivot Point Academy in Bloomingdale and will be graduating in July. Ever since entering the beauty industry, I have developed a strong passion for hairstyling, building connections with people, and creativity. I have experience working in a salon as an assistant which has helped me grow my communication skills, work ethic, and understanding of the industry. I am hardworking, motivated, and always eager to learn new techniques to continue growing as a stylist. My goal is to find a salon where I can build strong relationships, gain hands on experience, and become part of a positive team that fits both my personality and career goals. I want to start somewhere jumping in off the bat and immediately starting to learn. I am more than excited to continue my developing skills, expanding my clientele, and creating a long term future in the beauty industry. I want this as my career in every lifetime.
