Self Reflection
I was quite proud of myself during the timed assessment period, I felt I stayed under control and calm throughout and acted like a professional. Overall Im really pleased with the end result which we photographed. I truly feel like this was my best attempt, having improved on each practice session. I am delighted with how even the padded sections look from the front, Becky's design was meant to be very symmetrical so i feel I've lived up to the expectation, especially considering with how badly i struggled with this to begin with. However, I understand that the look isn't perfect. One of the things I'm most disappointed with is the bun section at the back of the head, I feel that the bun is sagging quite a bit and this could have been rectified through the use of more pins to secure it in place. I think possibly the reason I didn't put enough pins in is because it was he final stage of the design and I was concerned about running over. Overall I feel that this assessment was a success, even though it may not be as polished as some of my peers work I feel like this is a real achievement for me as I have little experience in hair and I do find some elements hard to come to grips with. 

Peer Review - Becky, The Designer
I found Becky to be a very clear and concise designer, I always knew her intentions and what she wanted her design to look like. She was very detailed in her instructions and provided me with lots of materias to help me complete the design, for example annoyed notes with pictures. I feel the only thing she could have improved on was by perhaps considering my lack of confidence with hair. Becky could have adapted her design more so to encompass my abilities, as I feel it was a fairly ambitious design, especially for someone who isn't hugely confident with hair styling. Despite this, she was a very supportive partner and actually she did help me improve on my skills which leads me to believe she was right not to drastically change her design. Becky has been a delight to work with, not only have we worked well together and been dedicated to our practice and communication but we've also enjoyed ourselves along the way.
