About Terri Rehkopf: With a solid 14 years in the hairstyling game, her journey began in a salon her mom opened. Eager to master the trade, she spent 3 years there until her mom sold the business, I continued, renting a station in the same salon. After a dedicated two-year stint, she took the plunge into entrepreneurship, establishing her own salon. Building a thriving community soon led to the need for additional hands. A desire to share her expertise prompted her to assemble a team, imparting lessons and fostering growth. Some team members ventured out on their own, a testament to the loyalty and training they received. Discovering a passion for teaching amid her struggles, she crafted a comprehensive apprentice program. In one year, she poured her knowledge into budding stylists, preparing them for the challenges of the profession. Her commitment to their growth extends beyond formal training, providing ongoing support and education. Beyond hairstyling techniques, she educates on product knowledge, differentiating between toxic and non-toxic options. Equipping stylists to handle sensitivities and navigate diverse client needs has been a key focus. Terri is deeply committed to sharing her passion for sustainable practices and holistic beauty education with fellow stylists. What We Discuss In This Episode: Terri shares her holistic approach to hair care, focusing on educating clients on toxic vs. non-toxic ingredients, and how scalp and overall health impact hair health.

Scalp health and hair growth: Our discussion turns to the critical role of scalp health in supporting hair growth and strength. Terri recommends using scalp brushes to stimulate circulation, as well as specific oils like Amla and black castor oil to nourish the scalp.
