Brittany Olson

Brittany Olson loves to meet new people, but what she loves even more is her job. For the last 3 years she has worked as a hairstylist at Fantastic Sams hair salon in Cambridge Minn. Olson recalls the day when she knew she wanted to style hair, at age 7 her aunt gave her a “how to braid hair” book and unleashed little Brittnay’s passion. She can still remember the first hair cut she ever gave “the first haircut I gave was probably on my mom! She was sooooo nervous because she is kind of picky and didn’t know if I had enough experience to give her a cut. It did go well though; she has had the same variation of the haircut for years so I did a good job.”Of all the skills that Olson learned at the regency beauty institute in Blaine it seems clear that she enjoys performing updo’s (elegant styled hair) on clients most of all. At regency, Olson won several updo contests, and even performed them for weddings and proms when she was just a senior in high school. Although Brittnay loves her job, she knows that with any job it is easy to get burned out from doing the same thing over and over again, that is why she is currently attending Anoka Ramsey community college so she can further her career at her 2nd job, Wells Fargo. “I like to balance it out so that I still go to work and love it along with reflect my passion to the people that are in my chair” Currently Olson is enjoying her life as a student, she lives with her fiancé, Ian in Isanti and is looking forward to her own wedding, which when it comes to the hair, she will be more then ready.
