I absolutely love this and yes we are definitely untrained therapists but we still do all we can whilst we have them in our chairs. I'd love to join. I gave up my salon to go freelance 6 weeks pre covid (talk about good timing). Anyway all these years on i am shattered. I'm 40 and ive been doing hair since I was 16 and I think are community is amazing 🩷

I absolutely understand the way our industry can shatter us! I’ve been doing hair for 24 years now and have faced many phases of burnout. Mental health and community is so needed for us beauty professionals. I hope you’ll join the free community. And be on the lookout, podcast launching soon!

Love this! We are often untrained therapists, helping our guests and it's important to work on our well-being as well.

So grateful to find some hairstylists on substack! So many online apps are too noisy with a mixture of content geared towards us. This place seems like a nice place to find meaningful and insightful discussions with colleagues.

I couldn’t agree more! We need more focus on our mental wellbeing instead of the busy culture we see in many social media vibes. So glad to have found each other here! I have a free community in the chat feature here, would love to see you there. Thanks for reaching out!
