How to Celebrate Hairstyle Appreciation Month
Reflect on Your Journey
Whether you’re just beginning your beauty career or you’ve been in the biz for decades, the journey from where you started to where you are is worth reflecting on and celebrating.
Becoming a beauty pro requires hard work, passion, determination, training, and more. From your time in school to years behind the chair, every step you’ve taken–and those you’ve yet to take–are meaningful milestones along your path to success.
Take a moment to sit awhile and journal your reflections, chat with your fellow stylists and other important people in your life, or simply ruminate on the foundational memories that made you who you are today.
Appreciating where you came from–and envisioning where you go next–is a great way to celebrate your hairstylist journey.
"Hairstylist Appreciation Month is the perfect opportunity to celebrate that community by connecting with fellow stylists you admire, support, and want to spend time with."
Treat Yourself - You’ve Earned It
What better way to celebrate your accomplishments as a hairstylist than by taking some time to treat yourself?
You work hard day in and day out to make your business a success, give your clients the best possible service, and balance all of it with your personal life.
So, schedule a spa day or massage, splurge on those shears you’ve been eyeing, take yourself out to lunch, or just take a staycation or mental health day.
Choose something that fits your preferences and makes you feel pampered. After all, you’ve earned it.
Connect with Fellow Stylists
One of the wonderful things about being a stylist is the amazing community you get to be a part of and contribute to.
Hairstylist Appreciation Month is the perfect opportunity to celebrate that community by connecting with fellow stylists you admire, support, and want to spend time with.
Consider hosting a brunch or arranging a coffee meet-up where local stylists can come together to enjoy each other’s company, swap stories, and inspire each other.
If your community extends beyond your local area, you can host a virtual happy hour or find other creative ways to come together.
Give Back to New Stylists or Students
No matter how far into your beauty career you are or the list of accomplishments you’ve added to your resume, you never forget where you came from. Becoming a hairstylist is hard work. It takes commitment, late nights, stress, and a whole lot of time to achieve your goals.
This Hairstylist Appreciation Month, you can celebrate your community by giving back to those who are just getting started. From new stylists just getting their shears sharpened in the industry to students with big dreams, finding ways to help the next generation of hair stylists reach their full potential is incredibly rewarding.
Offer training opportunities, donate gently used tools, embrace collaborative projects, or share your inspirational story–how you give back is up to you. No matter what you choose to do, it will be a win-win for everyone involved!
Protect What You’ve Built
If you love your life as a beauty pro, celebrating Hairstylist Appreciation Month is about more than looking back and reflecting on what you have accomplished; it’s about looking forward and planning for the future.
Protecting everything you have built by investing in hairstylist liability insurance is one of the best ways to celebrate your career, invest in yourself, and give yourself (and your business) a little self-love.
By investing in a comprehensive beauty insurance policy, you can continue your work with confidence and peace of mind knowing that your livelihood, reputation, and salon are protected.
No matter how you choose to celebrate Hairstylist Appreciation Month, we hope you enjoy it and feel loved.
At Elite Beauty Society, we love and appreciate beauty pros every day of the year. That’s why we’re currently hosting a giveaway to give back to the community we care so much about!
