Your hair appointment is a wellness appointment.
Seriously. Many people report feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally better after their visit to the hair salon. That’s not a coincidence! When you come in for your service, you’re doing more than getting your hair done (which in and of itself can provide a huge confidence boost)—you’re carving out a time specifically dedicated to caring for YOU, and the benefits of self-care are well-documented and far-reaching. A few of our favorites include:
-Increased relaxation
-Boosted mood
-Decreased stress
-Increased levels of self-compassion
Hair salons, in particular, are unique in that they also provide an environment of connection, where clients are able to develop genuinely close, authentic, and supportive relationships with their hairstylists, a truth we hold very dear to our hearts.
When you come into a Ginger & Maude Hair Salon, our focus is on taking care of you. You don’t have to worry about being dressed up or putting on pretenses; you don’t have to stress that we will try to talk you into a style you know isn’t for you. The latest trends will come and go; a safe space to escape from life and reconnect with yourself is genuinely a gift that gives forever. We are here to listen, to collaborate, and to ensure you leave feeling better than when you came in with the hair that shows your truest self.
You deserve that.
P.S. If you start feeling better as soon as your hairstylist starts brushing, you aren’t imagining it! A recent study demonstrated that specialized nerve fibers linked to pleasant, emotional touch are closely connected with our hair follicles.
