What I'll be talking about
In this episode, we’re talking about gender-free pricing and consultation strategies & why you need to adopt this change in your salon biz.
I am proudly the Australian Change Maker for the Dresscode Project and formerly the Aussie Ambassador when the DCP first launched down under a few years ago.The Dresscode Project is a global alliance of salons/shops committed to providing positive, gender-affirming services for LGBTQI+ clients. We envision a world where every hair salon and barbershop is a gender-affirming, safer space for LGBTQIA+ clients.
Show notes for episode 129
I live in Sydney Australia, which has recently been the host city for this year's world pride, plus the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade also recently happened. If you’re a regular listener and podcast subscriber you would already be enjoying my recent pride focussed episodes.

This is the last episode in this LGBTQIA+ series in correlation with World Pride. But just because the glitter is disappearing does not mean that important conversations and actionable change should be quietening.
My salon service menu is based on creating safer spaces with transparency around gender-free pricing and terminology within consultations and services. I commit to embracing diversity and eliminating discrimination in the hairdressing and beauty industry.
I’ll be sharing pro tips in this podcast with you about how to do gender-free hair services.
5 EASY WAYS TO MAKE ALL FOLK WELCOME IN YOUR SALON:
