Episode 8 - Being an Educator

LISTEN NOW: ITUNES

In this episode of The Chair-apist, I interview Jackie Epperson, an educator for L'Oreal and the owner of Chroma Salon. We discuss what it takes to be an educator and the pros and cons of becoming an educator. Jackie shares her insights on what makes a successful educator and how to manage the challenges that come with the job. This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering a career in education! 

Jackie Epperson is the owner of Chroma Salon in Tacoma, Washington. She is a L'Oreal Professionnel Artist and a Certified Balayage Artist. Jackie teaches color, balayage, and styling to salons all over the nation and loves sharing her passion and knowledge with others in the industry. 

It's all About Passion 

Being an educator is not going to make you rich, but you get a great sense of satisfaction when you can help other stylists learn new techniques, support them and help contribute to their success. If you decide to get into education, remember that much of the travel and expenses come out of your pocket, so factor that into your decision. 

It’s a Nice Change from Being Behind the Chair 

Having an additional focus in your career allows you to change it up and get OUT from behind the chair. Being an educator also allows you to visit different salons and see how they do things. Sometimes, being in a different environment gives you a perspective that you can take home and implement in your salon.
