What are encouraging things you'd say to clients depressed about their hair/appearance? Two days ago I had a FaceTime consult with a client that was depressed about hair thinning and the way it was affecting her appearance. My first step was to help her identify any hair issues associated with the depression. Stress, high blood pressure, thyroid issues, post pregnancy hair issues, trauma from styling, or overdo makeovers are some of the most prevalent reasons for clients being depressed over their appearance. I offer any advice that might help manage the issue. After we’ve ruled out all of the above, the final question is “what’s his name” and why are you letting him stress you out. Lol The final step is to come up with a game plan on how to revamp their appearance. In some cases, it requires a new hair care regimen. Other times a makeover is in order. I always remind them how magical hair is and that absolutely anything is possible!
How does Earth's Nectar provide the tools people need to care for their hair? By educating clients on the importance of clean ingredients....not products. If you teach your customers what ingredients are best, they will be empowered to make healthy hair decisions. At Earth’s Nectar, we focus on ingredients that nourish the scalp. A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair.
What are three ways using green beauty can boost self-esteem? Handcrafted products like Earth’s Nectar are often clean and can offer higher quality and more attention to detail– but they also have surprising side benefits as well. It offers a sense of peace and well-being. It feels great to know your possibly eliminating hundreds of chemicals from your daily routine. At Earth's Nectar many products are still made by hand. Work done by hand takes less energy than a mass production assembly line, which makes it more environmentally sustainable.” Our daily rituals are a really good way to demonstrate self-love and love for the world we live in. A clean hair care routine can be used as a ritual to enhance love for yourself and the world we live in. Local ingredients and fair trade is helping someone, somewhere to live a sustainable life.
What are things you tell yourself to be encouraged on the daily? I am a big believer in self affirmations. When my mother and brother were killed in a car accident my aunt covered my wall in affirmations and positive music on repeat. She said she wanted it to get into my spirit. Those affirmations and songs were the soundtrack of my day each day. It was in my spirit. Every day throughout the day I repeat positive, self-affirming thoughts like:“everything I do is effortless and prosperous”....“I am so grateful now that prosperity comes to me in increasing quantities from multiple resources on a continuous consistent basis”.........
