You are in a unique position.
As a stylist or therapist, you build deep, trusted relationships with your clients. You see them at their most vulnerable, hear their personal stories, and sometimes, notice things that others don’t. But what if you suspect something is wrong? What if a client—or even a team member—is silently struggling with something far more serious than just a bad day? Domestic abuse is more common than you think, and during this episode, we’re diving into the crucial role salon owners and professionals can play in being a safe space for those who need it most. Our guest, Liz McKeon, shares how she became the UK and Irish ambassador for Shearhaven—a program designed to train salon professionals on recognizing the signs of domestic abuse. More importantly, she reveals why this matters now more than ever. This conversation isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. If you want to be more than just a salon owner and truly make a difference in people’s lives, this episode is a must-listen.This is How Salons Can Help Combat Domestic Abuse
