Standing behind the chair for 10-12 hours a day is EXHAUSTING! It destroyed my hormones, joints, back, knees, neck, and skin. I have actually developed contact dermatitis because of long term exposure I had to hair color! It wasn’t only excruciating on my body but destroyed my mental health. People really open up to you when they sit in your chair. There’s a trust that happens from continuous physical contact for hours at a time. Until you learn to create emotional boundaries for yourself, the weight of everyone else’s problems crushes you. Setting up emotional boundaries is really difficult but setting up physical boundaries is a great place to start and heal. Here are a few you can start implementing now.. ↠ TAKE A 1 HR LUNCH BREAK! You do NOT fill that time with another client. If you need the money, raise all of your service prices by $5 to make up for the time. If you don’t eat you can’t heal. If you don’t rest your mind, you can’t heal. You picking up what I’m putting down? ↠ ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES! Your skin absorbs 65% of what you put on it. That means all of those chemicals that are changing the structure of the hair you’re doing, is entering your bloodstream and destroying your thyroid. My favorite gloves to this day are @framar. Their gloves are long enough to cover your wrists. ↠ STOP USING AEROSOL PRODUCTS! Use products you have more control over instead of haphazardly spraying mists of toxins into the air. When you breathe it in, it ALSO destroys the thyroid and your Pituitary Gland (the gland in charge of your hormones!) For all of you hairdressers who are ready to learn how to TAKE CARE OF YOU, SET BOUNDARIES, AND LEARN ways to make your job healthier and less toxic! So you can still do what you love without so many consequences; Feel free to watch my recording of the “Heal the Hairdresser” Masterclass I did last month, link in bio! #healthehairdresser #healthestylist #holistichairstylist #holistichealing #hairstylists #salonowner #salonownership #behindthechair #modernsalon #americansalon #christinakreitel
