Did you know that September is Alopecia Awareness month ?

About 30 million women suffer from alopecia in the US. As you may know alopecia comes in so many different forms and affects a woman’s confidence, mental health and overall lifestyle. How many of your clients are

experiencing hair loss ? What are their day-to- day struggles as they cope with this vicious disorder ? How are they feeling?

As you move into September think about how you can show a little extra support for those whom alopecia affects. Here are a few engagement tips you can include in your September offerings .

SALON & SPA EVENTS

Consider hosting an event of your own or collaborate:

Raise awareness :

Help women who are seeing early signs of alopecia identify this disorder and reach out sooner than later.

Support clients:

When considering who suffers from alopecia, what specific struggles are you witnessing in your salon/spa?

Are there trichologists that you can refer them to?

What organizations or businesses are doing something for hair loss that your business can add value to?

Safe space :

Having a place where you can "just be you" means the world to human beings ! Being acknowledged that you're doing your best at any given time can really help one's confidence, esteem and outlook on life.

Think about creating a night to celebrate in your community whether it’s in person or on-line. Serve cocktails, a bite to eat, laughs and celebrate one another. An old fashioned “girl time” can have long lasting wonderful effects on the whole being of our souls.
