Hit 1000 hours of client work this week and it hit me harder than I expected

I mean I knew the number was coming up but when I actually checked my books and saw 1000 hours with clients since I started my chair at the salon, I kinda froze. It made me realize how many different hair types and textures I've worked with in that time, from fine straight hair to 4C coils, and how much I still have to learn. Anybody else hit a milestone like that and feel weirdly emotional about it?

Wait, 1000 hours of client work and you're still feeling like you have a ton to learn? That's wild, honestly.

Honestly @kevin218, 1000 hours is just enough to realize how deep the rabbit hole really goes once you start dealing with real clients and their unique problems. Doesn't the learning curve just keep getting steeper the more you actually know?
