03 Oct Apprearance Matters – Boost your mental health with a trip to the salon
In a world where Mental Health is such a prevalent topic we should be finding ways to boost it in any way we can.
Body image and appearance can greatly affect your self esteem. Not feeling confident in your appearance can change the way you think feel and act. Feeling uneasy about your appearance can bring down your self esteem. Those who don’t feel good about the way they look can often avoid going out to social events too.
Now let’s also talk about time. A lot of reasons we may be suffering from Mental Health related topics can have a lot to do with the lack of time needed to take care of yourself. Whether it is because you are a busy Mom or Care Taker. Maybe you need to work 2 jobs for financial reasons. Or your mental health consumes you and thereare days and times you just can not function.
Therapy sessions are helpful to talk to a professional about whatever it is that is the root or causes of your mental health disorder. Keeping things in is never a good idea but I’m here to offer a therapy session that includes very little talking. How would you feel if I told you that I have a way that you could go out in public and feel so much better about yourself? A 3-4 hour session that would give you a little bump of dopamine every time you looked in the mirror?
When a friend, family member, loved one, or YOURSELF feels that you need some extra love and attention they think to gift a spa session. SO awesome yes! Three quiet hours in the spa. A wonderful facial, a nice relaxing massage. Let me tell you, I love a good spa session. I leave and I feel so calm, my skin is glowing, the muscles are relaxed. However, let’s still talk about the way I look when I leave. Hair disheveled from the steamer, headband, and laying on the bed. Oil in the hair and I need to acclimate to the daylight again. To be clear, I still love a spa day!
Now let’s talk about another way to get 3-4 hours of good feels. A hair makeover! This is a special type of appointment though. Visit our website and choose a service from the Handle with Care category! We understand that things in life might not be going quite the way they should. Relax, we also understand you might not want to talk about it! So we have special services you can choose via online booking that tell us internally you need a little extra love and less talking about life.
You might be very overdue to get your hair done and feel embarrassed about that. No worries, choose these services and we will respect that life got in the way and you are ready to take time for yourself. Maybe finances were burdening you, maybe they still are, but you need to take care of you! Don’t worry we will share financial options for you. We can give you some ideas how to change your look and not break your bank. You matter. How you feel about yourself matters.
Your mental health concerns can be big or small, but they all matter. As hairdressers our job is to make you feel good about yourself. Good hair is something so many people notice! When a perfect stranger stops you 3 mo post hair appointment to say “you have such pretty hair,” this can make you feel so good! Dopamine! When you wake up in the morning, get dressed, and
go to the bathroom or pass a mirror in your home and you glance in the mirror and your hair is laying just right, boom dopamine!
Yes a visit to the spa is so great! $500 for 3 hours of bliss. But what happens the next day and the ones after? Visiting the salon and getting Pin worthy hair is a gift that keeps giving you those surges everytime you look in the mirror. Or each time a co-worker, friend, or even companion stops you to say “I love your hair” or “I like that color on you.” Visit the spa if that is what gives you joy and peace. But if it is a boost in confidence you need I highly suggest a visit to the hair salon to get that boost in confidence, those feel good vibes you need.
