Sometimes, the most impactful work is seeing and validating the person, not just their hair. Learning to say no is an important skill for maintaining quality and integrity. Hairdressing offers an opportunity to change how people see themselves, sometimes on a soul level. #hairdressing, #emotionalconnection, #hair color, #clientcare, #humanconnection, #hairart, #salonexperience Find my other stuff here- http://rachael-lee-mohr.com/
