Avoid burnout as a Hairdresser
Learn self care and boundaries, with hayley jepsen

What we'll be talking about
Wondering how to avoid burnout as a Hairdresser working in the salon? In this episode of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast, we answer that question.
Hayley Jepsen aka ‘The Resilient Hairdresser' empowers hairdressers to avoid burnout and know how to thrive. She has a background in hairdressing & psychotherapy. And currently she is working behind the salon chair again PLUS she’s about to launch her very first online course to help hairdressers raise their mood and boost their self esteem.
2020 is certainly a year unlike any other. Emotionally and physically hairdressers' lives have become more difficult to navigate. It takes a lot more energy to work in PPE than without it… and add on top of that a couple of other stresses or responsibilities and you can see why a lot of us are feeling worn out.
If you’re ready to learn how to take care of yourself, we’ve got you covered. Listen to learn more about becoming a resilient Hairdresser.

2020 is certainly a year unlike any other. Emotionally and physically hairdressers' lives have become more difficult to navigate. It takes a lot more energy to work in PPE than without it… and add on top of that a couple of other stresses or responsibilities and you can see why a lot of us are feeling worn out.
It’s so important to establish personal and professional boundaries. And I want each of you to be kind to yourselves and each other. It’s easy amongst the madness to try and keep busy to get through tough times, but it’s so important to take some time to rest, recharge and feel all the emotions without rushing them through. This all seems a little easier said than done. That’s why I have reached out to Hayley Jepsen to chat with us today about some actionable strategies to help with our mental health & resilience. Hayley is an Educator + Coach, that empowers hairdressers to avoid burnout and know how to thrive. She has a background in hairdressing & psychotherapy…. And currently she is working behind the salon chair again PLUS she’s about to launch her very first online course to help hairdressers raise their mood and boost their self esteem.
If you’re ready to learn how to take care of yourself, we’ve got you covered.
We dive deep into these key themes:
- Boundaries – what are they and how to establish these
- The different types of boundaries for self-employed hairdressers versus employed hairdressers working for a Salon Owner
- Stress (that's a biggy!!)
- It's time to let go of old belief systems that are “old school” and no longer serving us for positive days at the salon
- Resilience for Hairdressers – we discuss the what/ the why/ the how
- and so much more!
