Shortcuts to wellbeing for hair stylists

The intention of every hairdresser I have ever met, and I have seen several in my massage practice over the years, is to make their clients look beautiful, to help them feel better about themselves and to improve their self-confidence.
​
But this quest does not come without a price. Hairdressing is a demanding job for the stylist as well as everyone else on the salon team.

To achieve their maximum potential as employees and experience life joyfully, stylists have to look after themselves and develop simple, sustainable wellness practices. 

Are you a hair stylist and you are not sure how to do that? I have a few ideas ...

HIGH IMPACT
Hairdressing is a physically high impact occupation hence the stylists coming for massage complaining of sore muscles and joints from head to toe.

They are on your feet most of the day and often have to contort their bodies with arms lifted high and holding heavy dryers for long periods.

No wonder the body complains.

HIGH EMOTION
Working as intimately with people and their, often vulnerable, self-images as they do, makes the hair stylist's workplace a high emotion environment. ​They have to be friendly, attentive and professional whether or not the client’s own demeanour makes it easy. All the time!

HIGH ENERGY
Hairdressing trends, techniques and product offerings are constantly changing and stylists are constantly bombarded with new information requiring stylists to be highly adaptive and fast learners.

Salons itself are often high energy, noisy, busy environments leading to over-stimulated nervous systems and eventually to physical and mental fatigue.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Add to this the high expectations of not only clients expecting miracle make-overs, but also salon owners who set high targets and expect stylists to sell and market as well as do their work often in adverse economic conditions.

LOW ENERGY
​No wonder hairdressers and their support staff often feel tired to the point of burnout or that they complain of pain and discomfort in their bodies and a lack of joy in their lives.
​

When nothing excites them any longer learning new things is a drag, being creative seems impossibleand before long they lose interest in the very thing that used to be their passion, their purpose in life.

Hairdressing becomes just a job but with less than comfortable hours and top-notch pay.

LOW LIFE
And from there it is not a big step to judging oneself to be no longer happy with life in general.

In the process of making others look and feel better, the stylist has drained your own energy.  

So what now? There are a few options: 
  • They can leave the profession and do something completely different.
  • Or they can move to another salon hoping that the grass will be greener there.
  • Or they can just muddle along and spend their days hating their job and life.

​But there is a fourth option.

So if you are a stylist or salon owner I am talking to you.

You can invest in your own workplace wellness and develop the physical, mental, emotional and social skills to move beyond just coping to joyfully spending your days doing what you love.

Too tired, or you just don't know how to go about it?

Let's talk. I have developed a short programme that can help you start the process of taking back your enjoyment of your occupation and your life by incorporating undemanding, simple but sustainable habits and wellness practices.

But I am not a hairdresser or salon owner, I need your input.

​To improve the programme and get it just right for you as a hairstylist or salon owner or employee, please complete the short survey below

We all should take good care of our hair, the hair that we have is our shining glory. We must always keep an eye to the health of it so that we may be able to maintain a healthy and strong hair. This can make a huge impact in our lives and can make a big improvement that will let us appreciate our lives. We will be thankful for these blessings and that is learning to love ourselves. Taking good care of our physical appearance can go a long way.

SELF denied Holy Warrior for Jesus Holy Trinity

global extermination by 2025 - And I've sent this & messaged DOD & military base's in new mexico re: Dulce's military base as well; It's gonna be a literal, human incomprehensible global bloodbath massacre & not even the word nightmare nor Crime's against humanity can scratch the surface. Including those fool's (devil court jester's) - The 'Utah Data Center', code-named "Bumblehive". And the Multiprogram Research Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

ALL $ bought & sold out your humanity & NON-SELF owned Soul (as solely God owns ALL), but re: Even with & like THOSE upon indian reservation (no respect for THE LAND) = New Mexico's 7 mile's down Dulce military base (& their just ONE amidst USA, despite global elsewhere), but press - on your computer keyboard key's Ctrl & 'F' & search / find keyword - type in: Level 6 & see thereof text wordage around thereof: https://www.crystalinks.com/undergroundbases.html.

Do your own research, come to your own conclusion's, but DON'T deem vast that they have been doing & are (tick tock 'time', right now) aren't even worse so: global extermination by 2025, & whom TOP Power deem that 9-1-1 was JUST a TEST, to see just how the global masses would react & respond.

Globalist's, misc aren't really doing what they plan on, their really just passing the time, evil - senselessly, & their talk of reducing 7 billion plus down to 500 million, huh, OH don't think it'll stop there, oh no, just so Satan who solely started this Holy War against God, can eventually 'spite' God with exhibited all human eventually narrowed down & killed, like Satan's timeless laughing off it's ass at us (having put on a clueless humor show for that beast) & deeming to God, "LOOK AT THEM ALL, YOUR SO-CALLED PRIDE & JOY, THEIR SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT YOU?!"

And you gonna tell me (fellow human's) THAT no bothers you? OH it will, upon Coming Judgment Day before Jesus per / via your Heaven Life Record (everyone has one, even Adam & Eve), OH . . . I 'GET' much BECAUSE I chose to SELF denyingly Holy Warrior rise up for solely Holy Trinity. You (CARE?) to read - hear more? Huh, fine, it's NOT my Holy intel & I'm no threat nor lone wolf (as lone wolf is NOT in nor of Holy Trinity). Men in Black? Crime's against humanity NO even begin to scratch the surface.

Like judge Marshall ("Time Cop") said, "The sentence is DEATH, to be carried out IMMEDIATELY!" NO waiting around for the right cocktail, & thereof WATCH & WITNESS just how fast 6' x 9', misc tier's would be cleared & emptied!

Know that it was Adam that sinned first, NOT Eve BUT old men long ago would have vast past since - to date believe otherwise, & why would anyone think? YEAH, huh, right.

Here's another one: When satan got defeated re: Jesus's testing in the desert, Satan just deemed (BECAUSE of '?', ROGUE us all as a whole FROM Holy Trinity), "Fine Satan would just go after Jesus's next best thing, HIS Little One's 'children / kids' through the adult's".

Humanity could & should have SELF denyingly chosen to Holy Warrior rise up & represent solely Holy Trinity - as to why we were created & thought up in the first with WITH all we'd ever need ie: gift's, talent's, skill's & free will, NOT EVER to exhibitedly deem (UGH) that God is somehow a maid & janitor for us?

Uh, NOT HE wouldn't even have to exhale & we'd go out quicker than a candle & think NOT fellow humanity why Jesus REALLY came, huh, there'd be WHAT? Animatedly White streak's down all adult's back in fear & terror finding out the REAL Truth, with that we were solely created to self denyingly care take of each & Earth, NOTHING off!

And the dying Earth? Try: The Natural balance is off - once like a force field shielding, like a computer firewall going down, thus, having allowed in, because of Adam first & THEN Eve, which Satan seeing Adam failing God priorly THEN did God allow Satan to try testing Eve.

And re: children / kid's, Jesus: "If any adult's keep any of these Little one's from me, they will NEVER see my Father". MUCH has been changed, suppressed, misc by whether the Vatican, fill in the blank's over centuries, even destroyed so that later humanity would NOT know of the truth or say that - to do such, simply would have been purposely not been recorded so as to deem that it just never happened & thus, later humanity would not know.

Yeah, I know much BUT it AIN'T me, it's Holy Trinity, per / via HIm 'touching' me, knowing I'd be shunned but I don't care because I will die for Jesus & have past since - to date until my eventual death, SELF denied voluntary & chosenly Holy Warrior for Jesus Holy Trinity.

Huh two thing's: THEY of whether globalist's, etc or TOP - down globally deem cluelessly that - 1) Satan started this nevertheless 70 century - to date Holy War against God, 2) Adam FIRST, NOT Eve, sinned & then Eve of course but old men long ago changing writing's would have any & all believe otherwise, & SO . . . what then? Satan wins? YEAH, NOT! THINK AGAIN!

And THEN, there's thi

I have been using the Fully Vital Hair Growth System for the past 6 months, and I have been very impressed with the results. I have noticed a significant decrease in hair loss, and my hair is starting to look thicker and healthier. I am also happy to report that I have not experienced any side effects from using the system<a href="https://www.digistore24.com/redir/448912/Rajatit98/" target="_blank">click here</a> to experience the difference!
