The First Ward

Allow us to re-introduce ourselves! After a year of growth, we decided to ask ourselves some fun questions to check-in with you, and made some pretty awesome self-discoveries while we were at it. We hope you enjoy a fun little birds-eye view of what’s going on in our lives and our hair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We start with Andrea. 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We asked her to flashback to when she was 10 years old and tell us what she wanted to be when she “grew up.” Her answer? Cryptozoolgy - the study of ‘unknown’ creatures or legendary creatures. She theorizes this career goal had something to do with her parents allowing her to watch X-Files at a young age. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before hair (b.h.), Andrea was a social worker for 9 years! During her off-time she would spend hours watching hair and makeup videos on YouTube. Sometimes (a lot of the time she says) it would end in bleaching disasters 😅. After some years she started to lose her spark for social work, and decided to take a leap and go to hair school. This path ultimately led her to TFW, and we are so happy it did.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to cutting, Andrea loves cutting shags, mullets, and a classic bob or layered hair. “I love giving people what they feel confident and comfortable in.” Her ultimate love lies in color theory, bleaching hair, and using bright colors. If you follow her personal account or simply look for rainbow hair + pops of bright hair color on our feed, you will know exactly what we’re talking about. It’s all Andrea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that you know a little more about our Crytpozooligist turned colorist, let us give you some rapid-fire insight to what she’s currently into:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go-to drink order: “Anything with Tequila”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hidden Talent(s): “Hmmm… I love cosplay.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Watching/Reading now: “RuPaul’s Drag Race & Good Girls”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We love you, Andrea. Please stay goth forever 🦇
