Cutting

We've begun cutting mannequin hair this week and I have to admit, the act shuts my brain off (in a pleasant way).  By the time I'm finished with the cut, I discover that my mouth is full of saliva.  I become so focused that thinking and swallowing spit take a backseat to the task at hand.  We've done 5 cuts so far and each time, I have finished a good 15 minutes or more after everyone else.  At first this bothered the crap out of me, but when I watched the instructor walk around to inspect the mannequins, I realized she spent a lot of time fixing mistakes.  When she comes over to fluff the hair on my mannequin, I hold my breath every time.  So far, she has not made any corrections.  She said I should not work at a low-end corporate salon because of my pace and assured me that wasn't a bad thing.  I'll make precision my goal and pray that speed comes with time.
