Hi everyone! For this month's blog post I’m taking over the blog to share with you all my story with Salon Tel Aviv. My names Charlie, I'm 22 years old, and I’m the salons receptionist, social media manager, assistant, and basically everything but the hairdresser. 

Two years ago on my 20th birthday, I stumbled across Salon Tel Aviv while looking for a new hairdresser. While looking through all the amazing reviews about my now boss, Shimi Angel, I was more than enticed to meet this interesting man. 

When I came in for my appointment, Shimi and I had so much fun talking about hair, life, and advice. He made me want to work harder as an individual, seeing his drive and how he carried himself inspired me. I couldn’t believe this salon was sitting right under my nose in the center of town. 

At the time, during the height of the pandemic, I removed myself from University and was working as a lifeguard and swim instructor. Shimi inspired me to work harder, and for an entire year from that point on I woke up everyday at 4:30 in the morning to open up a pool. That job taught me a lot of self discipline and gave me a better work ethic.

A year later after telling my family about Shimi, my aunt Lori came to see him and he told her that he’d love to work with me! I came in a week later and told him I’m definitely interested. The next day I put in my two weeks at my other job. I was nervous but excited for what the future had in store.
