Spider Man Actress Laura Harrier says that her glam time includes a good old-fashioned unpacking of all our favorite subjects: travel, music, fashion, and always a little bit of love. Not to mention a glass of champagne is usually (almost always) involved. Over the years, her hairstylist Jennifer Yepez has become like a sister to her.
Time to pour the tea, because I’m here to tell you, hair & makeup artists are more than just beauty magicians. We are sisters, brothers, others, and friends! A recent study reveals that 1 in 3 Americans, (that's around 83 million people), prefer to share their worries with their hair and makeup artists rather than professional therapists. Interestingly, women and people between the ages of 18-34 are more likely to confide in their hair & makeup artists for salon-chair therapy.
The beauty chair is a place where people can come to feel confident and beautiful. It is a place where they can let go of their worries and stress and simply enjoy the moment. For many people, the beauty chair is a safe haven for the heart.
While the lack of affordable and accessible therapy, along with a shortage of trained therapists, fuels this trend, let's not discount the soothing environment of a salon chair. I like to call my space the love shack!
