Emilia Domínguez Peña was born in Santa Clara, Cuba, on June 30, 1927. Throughout her life, she distinguished herself through her strength, dedication, and unconditional love for her family.

She lived a large part of her life in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she built a home filled with affection, values, and indelible memories. For health reasons—and much to her regret—she moved to West Haven, Connecticut, with the hope of one day returning to her beloved Puerto Rico.

Emilia was a strong woman, a fighter, and a tireless worker whose greatest satisfaction was looking after the well-being of her loved ones. Her example of sacrifice, perseverance, and love will remain alive in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Customers regularly reveal their personal struggles to their hairstylists. One often-quoted researcher once stated that hairstylists are “without question, frequently and seriously cast in the role of interpersonal helpers. The personal problems they hear about are nearly as diverse as those handled by mental health professionals.” Recently, as our understanding of mental health has developed, health professionals have begun to see the potential that the unique relationship between hairstylists and their customers offers. Some countries now offer specialist training to hairstylists so that they can help customers who they think may be struggling with their mental health.

National Hairstylist Mental Health Awareness Day is observed on May 27, 2026. Learn about the meaning, history, and ways to observe this annual holiday.
