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.
This podcast will help you with actionable steps you can take right now to make all folks welcome in your salon
