A visit to a hairdresser resembles a psychotherapy session. The clients are ready to share their secrets and ask for advice. The hairdresser shows reciprocal interest. This is a holiday celebrated on May 19 and is called National Barber Mental Health Awareness Day. Working with people is not easy. At the end of a working day, a hairdresser feels tired of the endless flow of information. You should pay attention and make friendly and light-hearted conversation.
The History
In 2020, the organization of hairdressers was created in the UK. They were trained to provide psychological assistance to their clients. This holiday was organized by the creators of the Booksy application, which unites employees working in the field of beauty and personal grooming services. Their goal was to provide support to employees of beauty salons, and make it clear they deserve rest and are not obliged to devote their lives to other people’s problems if it becomes hard to discuss. These creators are focused on organizing a professional space for barbers to discuss their own difficulties.
