Howdy! I'm Kara and I'm from Arizona. If you know anything about Arizona then I guess I’m busted and you are fully aware that we do not say “Howdy” here. I digress, I am a lover of life and a will do just about anything for a good laugh. I never cared much for animals until I met my 2-year-old teacup Yorkie, Boss. Now, I am officially one of "those" dog people. Yuck, I know. I am an advanced stage breast cancer survivor and better because of it. I've been bald and knocked on death's door, but I can honestly say that cancer was the single best thing that ever happened to me. Having owned a salon for over 14 years, I have extensive experience as a customer service specialist, can give a killer blowout and I am one heck of a gossip. I choose my attitude every day just like I choose my outfit and sometimes neither of them is superb. I aim for joy, it’s my most favorite word. I believe that anyone can be happy but only few can radiate joy. It's nice to meet you. I have extensive experience as a customer service specialist and that I am an accomplished oral and written communicator. I have mastered the art of persuasive speaking while always ensuring the integrity of the client. I was previously responsible for client retention, maintaining loyal repeated business, which of course is vital to the company’s success. I have proven myself to be a competent team player, promoting moral and self-confidence. Equally, I have shown my ability to be self-motivated, having started my business in my own home with only one employee, me. My previous jobs have demanded adaptability, creativity, forward-thinking, and an ability to quickly problem solve. These skills coupled with my ability to be charming, liked, and personable, put me in the unique position to make your company’s first impression an enjoyable one. Practicing proficient time management and appointment setting in both my personal and professional life, I’ve been known to make miracles out of the days when you never seem to have enough hours. I have and will continue to maintain the level of poise and tact that your business demands, adhering to a professional demeanor and appearance at all times. I am aware that my attitude is my choice and I choose a joyful one because I believe that anyone can be happy but only few can radiate joy.
