Here are some #worklooks I've had since returning to the salon. ๐ . Three months in #quarantine was the longest hiatus I've taken from doing hair in my entire 12 year career. I thought I had my #impostersyndrome in check by now, but I literally feared I was going to forget everything. ๐ . You know what's really difficult to forget? Lived experience. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ . Sure I was a little out of practice but not for long. Where I was the MOST out of practice was Social Skills. That's right, I had gone completely feral and forgot how to talk to people. But it was okay because everyone else did too. ๐ฝ . It's still a little weird finding stuff to talk about, most of us have been up to even less activity than usual... I talk about my involvement with the BLM protests & livestreamer @imhiramg , because it's the most interesting thing I've been doing (and it's important). โ๐พ . But mostly the conversation I have with my clients focuses on #selfcare ; how they have been coping, wisdom gained from the clarity of the moment, and things we appreciate from ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด that we are eager to see return... like hugs. ๐ค . I knew about #skinhunger before but it's wild to see people experiencing it on a mass scale now. For many, I was the first person that touched them. Even I have more reverence for my position in society now than I did before (and I already thought pretty highly of hairdressers). ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ . All of this is to say... ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ. ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐๐ค. ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ. ๐ฆ (at Freakflag by iana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwiIpflMj1/?igshid=1belxb296u4gx
