4 Ways to Improve Hair Stylist Wellness
Hair stylists, barbers, and beauty professionals as a whole are in a line of work that requires their A-game at all times. Although being behind the chair is a creative and fulfilling profession, it can be both physically and mentally draining. From the moment the salon opens to the last client of the day, hairdressers are on their feet the entire time constantly moving, shampooing, coloring, cutting, styling, blow drying, and creating in a loud, hectic, and often high-stress level environment. Not only that, but stylists are called hairapists for a reason. While they’re providing hair services, they are also building a trusting relationship with their client by actively conversing, listening, lending advice, and overall making sure their customer leaves looking beautiful on the outside while also feeling beautiful on the inside.
Barbers and hairstylists are constantly working and providing acts of service for everyone, which often leads to them neglecting their own health and wellbeing, resulting in exhaustion and hair stylist burnout. As a salon owner, it is important for you to create a healthy salon environment equipped with the proper tools, equipment, and products that nurture and boost the wellbeing of your stylists. Prioritizing your employees’ mental health and physical health is key to avoiding salon turnover by retaining talented stylists, leading to the longevity and success of your business. Check out 4 items every salon and beauty business needs to easily improve and boost the health and wellness of your hairstylists.
1. Anti-Fatigue Mats: Happy Backs, Happy Stylists
