Today marks the nineteenth day of our journey for Prototype. It’s really interesting how many empty retail spaces there are in Los Angeles county one would think we would of found something by now. Everything seems to be located next to or across from an existing salon,  in grungy looking areas, or not the right size. We’ve even received discrimination from property owners. This can be very discouraging for any small business owner. Another obstacle we seem to be running through is the opinions from individuals who feel they know what you should and shouldn’t be doing. Luckily  we knew that was something to expect. I’m just glad I was able to endure this as a designer and now that I’ve slightly switched industries nothing seems to phase me, especially when everything continues to fall into place. Who wants to spend their life working hard and making someone else money 5+ days a week to only be rewarded 2 days of freedom? I’m sorry but what’s the use of being paid well and only having 48 hours a week to enjoy it? With that being said shout out to all the business owners who never let anyone or thing stand in the way of their goals.

The options so far
