This. This is why I do it.
It’s not about the hair, it’s not about me feeling like I am making a change… it’s these moments. The little moment of finally getting my client smiling back at themselves. The moment of watching the confidence creep back in. The moment of seeing the client, loving the reflection starting back at them.
This little guy, he is one of my favourite clients. He used to hate the haircuts. Hate the shops. Hated the itchy and scratchy feeling of hairs… but we’ve worked together. We’ve made him finally comfortable to come to the shop, instead of at my house. Helped him get to the point of wanting to be vocal about his hair (even if that includes whispering to momma about what he actually wants.) And to me, these moments aren’t for me. These are for him. He’s gaining his confidence. He’s learning to use his voice. He is the boss in this moment, and I will forever stand on the hill of that statement. Just because I am the ones with the shears or clipper in hand, doesn’t mean I am the boss. This is his moment, his life, his head.
It is your body, it is your choice. ✨
Thanks for continually trusting me Sawyer, thanks for allowing me in to your bubble, and thank you for dealing with me being in your space. 🤍
