Care Beyond Beauty…
- By: Tashiek Hawkins
“How do WE define beauty?”
For example, we had a challenging week at work or at
home, we decide that a new look or fresh hairdo will
somehow make everything better, we book an
appointment (feeling guilty about being able to afford it),
go to a salon or a stylist that can do bomb hair and
charges top dollar, they possibly overbook appointments,
then we irritatedly spend the entire day at the salon and at
best, leave looking cute.
Then, we get in the car and realize that we spent way too
much money, we got lost in the salon life shuffle, no one
bothered to ask or cared about our wellbeing and then we
pull off looking halfway beautiful and feeling worse
emotionally (sigh) Well Friends, I totally understand and I
have good news for you...
LOVE, FAITH, HOPE & BEAUTY still exists in this
world and every experience will not be like that. If you
will, please allow me to cordially introduce myself, My
name is Tashiek, I am the Owner and “Covered Care
Hair Loss Center” and Visionary of the “Covered Care
Community”.
I am a licensed Cosmetology Educator, Master
Cosmetologist, Hair Loss and Hair Restoration Specialist.
I have the privilege to connect with people from all walks
of life and they entrust me with not only their beauty
needs, but they trust me with every area of their lives.
I have witnessed transformations that have uplifted
brokenness, boosted confidence and binded spirits of
suicide and depression.
My personal mission and prayers and are to promote
positivity by incorporating Holistic Care & Wellness into
every service or product that we provide.
That’s the Beauty of Covered Care Solutions!
I’ve heard clichés like “Beauty is in the eye of the
Beholder” or “Beauty is Skin Deep” and social media got
us believing beauty is all about attractiveness and
appearance! (Can we say “Selfie”) Well Friends...
If I can keep it real and have some “Straight Talk” with
you, that’s only partially true. If we are honest with
ourselves, we have become obsessed with ALL things
Beautiful.
I know this because I have served in the beauty industry
for more than 25 years. Statistics show that Beauty is a
Billion Dollar industry, it continues to grow in comparison
to other industries and doesn’t plan to decline any time
soon.
AND... Let’s not forget that Beauty is NOT only about
personal appearance, it trickles into almost any industry
like, health, wellness, fashion, entertainment, art, nature,
real estate, automotive, and the list goes on.
Whenever we want to LOOK Beautiful, what do we do?
We buy everything from makeup to hair, nails, clothes,
shoes, purses, jewelry, even cosmetic surgery. Heck, if we
are bold enough to admit it, we will try to beautify
anything, our home, car, office, you name it and I’m sure
we’ve tried it (lol).
BUT... I am here to tell us that TRUE BEAUTY can only
be found in the spirit of LOVE! Love Conquers ALL
things and changes the perception of everything. SORRY,
NOT SORRY if I got too deep but it’s my assignment to
speak to you in Love, in Spirit and in Truth!
If I still have your attention, I want us to take a moment
to reflect back on a time in life when we didn’t feel LOVE
or we didn’t think our LOOK was beautiful, we then took
an emotional risk of acquiring something (no matter the
cost) hoping that it would fill the void.
