What I'll be talking about
In this episode, we’re talking about embracing diversity in haircolour training, LGBTQI+ visibility in the hair industry, pronouns, positive actionable steps for allies, and how to create a gender-affirming space and inclusive salon for all clients.
This episode will be published within Sydney World Pride 2023.
The hair and beauty industry has always been considered a safer space for people within the LGBTQI community, but we still have a long way to go with education, acceptance, and understanding how to make sure as an industry that works so closely with our community and clients that we continually forward momentum.
