Ketut: the Hair as well as Beauty Stylist

Ketut can be 27 years old as well as owns a local wedding as well as hair stylist salon inside back streets of Ubud, Bali. Her little purple shop has been her only source of income for three years at in which point. A fortunate meeting having a lovely elderly couple dining at a hotel restaurant she was waitressing at led to her dream coming true. in which lovely man asked her, “What do you want to do with your life? Do you want to study?” to which Ketut replied, “Yes, I would certainly love to study. I have always wanted to be a make-up artist.” She knew what was involved to become qualified – two million Rupiah as well as 10 months of training in a beauty school in Gianyar, learning formal make-up application as well as massage therapy.

When she returned to work for her next shift there was an envelope with her name on the idea. She opened the idea as well as the idea simply read “You must go to school. Please find enclosed two million Rupiah” as well as the rest can be history. The couple had already flown out, back to North America, as well as Ketut didn’t get to thank her benefactors. She remembered their conversation as well as remembered speaking to them of “a promise” if her situation ever changed. They must have sensed she was a girl with true conviction as well as a real desire to achieve.

As she held in which money, a fleeting thought crossed her mind, “I could definitely do having a phone upgrade”, however she dismissed in which quickly because, as she told me, “A promise can be a promise”.

Her wedding salon can be a thriving business as well as in her best month Ketut has had takings of seven million. inside busy wedding season, which can be 2-3 months before Galungan, the salon can be a hive of activity. For a complete makeover (boy as well as girl), wedding costume hire, accessories as well as hair styling, the cost can be two million.

Her husband can be a gardener as well as they have a three-year-old child. Ketut can be very happy as well as feels her life can be blessed.

The man’s name was Mr. Loren Ceder through Seattle as well as one day she feels he will get to hear of her success.
