My Role as a Hairdresser in Relieving Stress
When it comes to maintaining the health of hair and scalp, special treatments or one-time procedures have their limits. What truly matters are the right daily habits.
Sleep, diet, and exercise—these three are considered the foundation of health in medicine, and I believe they are equally essential for the hair and scalp.
However, there is an even more fundamental factor that influences the continuation of these three habits.
That factor is “stress.”
The Vicious Cycle of Stress
When you are under stress,
- Your sleep becomes shallow
- Your diet becomes unbalanced (craving sweets or junk food)
- You lose the motivation to exercise
This disruption in the balance of mind and body eventually affects the hair and scalp as well. Issues such as dryness, hair loss, and an increase in gray hairs often appear as visible problems.
In today’s society, many people live with significant stress in one form or another—work, human relationships, family matters. Because some stress is unavoidable, it is difficult to eliminate it completely.
Making the Salon a Place Free from Stress
This is why I want the time clients spend in my salon to be “their only moment of true relaxation.”
- No need for forced conversation
- Creating an atmosphere where silence itself feels comfortable
- A space that feels like being in a forest or by the sea, where you can naturally let go
I believe creating such an environment is one of my essential roles as a hairdresser.
Of course, caring for the hair is important, but even more valuable is providing “a place to reset the mind.” When a client’s heart feels lighter, it naturally has a positive effect on the health of their hair and scalp as well.
Added Value Beyond Hairstyles
Sometimes, clients talk not about their hair or scalp, but about life or personal worries.
I also see those conversations as important moments that help relieve stress.
In other words, a hairdresser’s job is not just about “creating hairstyles.”
It is also about easing the client’s stress and providing a relaxing environment.
That is the “added value” I hold dear.
👉 What I provide is not just a service that improves appearance, but a total care that connects the mind, body, and hair.
Every day, I strive to offer each client “a time that makes the walk home feel a little lighter.”
