The Book That Changed How I See My Story: Writing as Healing
By Janelle Alexis | Licensed Cosmetologist, Certified Educator & Author
Before I started writing Rose Colored Glasses, I had carried certain stories so long they had become part of my body — an ache in my shoulders, a tightness in my chest. Writing them down, naming them, choosing the words for them — it changed something fundamental in me.
What the Research and Real Experience Show
After years working in the beauty industry — with a foundation built on academic education (BS in Business Administration), professional licensure, and hands-on expertise — I have developed perspectives on this topic that I only share because they are grounded in real results with real clients. This is not theory. It is practice.
The Professional Perspective
Most of what you read online about this topic comes from people who are not licensed professionals with direct client experience. I have installed hundreds of extension sets, colored thousands of heads of hair, written a memoir, built a global brand, and mentored beauty professionals across the country. My guidance is shaped by all of it.
What My Clients Ask Most
In my salon, I hear variations of questions about this topic every single week. The conversations are always educational, always personal, and always specific to the individual client in my chair. The most important thing I tell every client: there is no one-size-fits-all answer. There is only the right answer for you, your hair, and your goals.
Your Next Step
If you want personalized guidance on this topic, the best next step is to book a consultation where we can assess your specific situation and create a plan that serves your actual hair goals. And for ongoing education, join my VIP newsletter for weekly professional insights delivered directly to your inbox.
