Finally got my at-home brow station organized just right
I was tired of digging through drawers for my tweezers and pencils every time a client came over. So I spent a Sunday clearing out a small desk and adding some cheap drawer dividers from the store. Now each tool has its own spot, and I even labeled the sections with masking tape. It sounds silly, but having everything in order cut my setup time in half for appointments. Yesterday, I did three brow shapes back-to-back without once fumbling for a spoolie. The flow was so smooth that my last client asked if I had moved to a real salon. It's a small thing, but it makes me feel more professional and less stressed. Definitely worth the couple hours it took to sort out.

That part about cutting setup time in half is so real. My friend who does nails finally put her polishes in order by color, and she said it completely changed her speed between clients. She felt like a different person just from clearing the clutter.

Yeah, my buddy sorting his tools felt that 'different person' shift too.

Actually, the word is "polishes" (like Sean said), which is technically correct even if it sounds a little funny. It's one of those words that feels weird to say out loud, you know? But that kind of small system, just grouping things by color like @seanc73 mentioned, really does make a huge difference in how you think about a task. It turns a mess into a simple choice.

Right? It's wild how such a small change does that. @averyshah, your buddy with the tools gets it. It really does feel like flipping a switch in your brain.
