The Beauty Chair: A Safe Haven for the Heart

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!

Here are some additional benefits of getting regular beauty treatments:

  • Reduces stress: Taking time for yourself to get pampered can help to reduce stress levels and improve your overall mood.

  • Improves self-esteem: Feeling good about your appearance can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more confident.

  • Increases relaxation: Getting a massage or other relaxing treatment can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

  • Improves sleep: Getting regular beauty treatments can help to improve your sleep quality and make you feel more refreshed and energized.

  • Increases energy: Getting a facial or other beauty treatment can help to improve your skin's appearance and make you feel more radiant and energetic.

  • Reduces the appearance of aging: Getting regular beauty treatments can help to reduce the appearance of aging and keep your skin looking youthful and healthy.

If you are looking for a way to improve your overall health and well-being, getting regular beauty treatments is a great option. So next time you're in for a trim or a fresh color, remember, it's not just about the outer glow, but also the inner peace. Here's to our makeup & hairstylists who provide a safe haven for the heart.
