The night floor instructor (senior teacher) stated that she'd be concerned if a student came to her with too much confidence and wasn't nervous. While I'm not terrified, yes, the anxiety is running a tad high - especially with cuts. If you get a hair cut wrong, it's difficult to fix. Fortunately the clients that come in full well know that students work on their hair so they generally know what to expect. 95% of the time, things are good. The instructor goes over student-client consultations prior to service and then checks the students work at each stage in the service to make sure the student is following procedures and what the client wants. I was a client there myself until I decided to become a student.
Knowing I have four family members I'll be working on is a huge relief. I've also asked several local friends to come in as I need live bodies. We'll see how trustworthy they are
