đż âď¸ Holistic Hairstylist + The Conscious Client
Meant to be used for both clients + hairstylists for a closer look into the services that a holistic hairstylist such as myself provides.
I then went on to become certified in the top organic color systems in the industry. But, that wasnât enough because I knew there was more out there. I wanted to learn more about the scalp on a cellular level to get to the root of the problem. Therefore, I enrolled in a trichology program + hope to become certified in the near future. In the meantime Iâm really enjoying learning about the science of the scalp + hair. I try my best to actively research outside of my course work about the scalp + stay engaged in the clean-green beauty communities around the world. I promise to always strive to use the best products I can find in the market, while also giving you "the conscious client" many good hair days.
1. Holistic Hairstylist + Conscious Client connect by a mutual understanding of the listed topics.
The conscious client is a lover of the planet, people, animals, + plants. She's mindful of the ingredients she uses + choses to support brands that align with her personal ethos. She realizes that she has the power to make educated decisions + by doing so she/he can support companies who place their customers wellness at top priority.

Just like a garden a happy head requires a good foundation. Your hair follicles on your scalp - similar to a plant require the right nutrients, air, water, light, temperature, space, and time to grow healthy hair. The skin on your scalp is more delicate, houses a higher number of sebaceous glands, sweat glands + hair follicles just below the surface. This makes it particularly sensitive to the careâor lack of careâthat you give it. Keep in mind just like anti-aging skincare we can also take preventative measures when approaching scalp care that can potentially prevent or lessen the severity of premature hair loss + premature graying of the hair along with many other benefits. The scalp is an extension of the face and should be treated as such with a proper haircare regime.

Clean beauty is a term that refers to non-toxic beauty; primarily safe for people. Itâs generally made of naturally derived ingredients and some synthetics such as preservatives. True clean beauty should be plant-based, free of parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, petrolatum, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, phenoxyethanol, mineral oil, synthetic colors or fragrances, GMOs, PABA, EDTA, or PEGs. Green beauty is generally made from ingredients as close to the plant as possible + is centered on environmentally conscious practices that in turn reduce your carbon footprint. This includes the sustainable + renewable sourcing of ingredients, production + packaging methods. In many ways green beauty is a social movement + a lifestyle choice. By choosing to go green youâre making a positive impact on your health, community + planet.

The holistic hairstylist uses the cleanest haircare lines in the industry that contain the highest concentrations of organic + biodynamic ingredients. I use both 100% holistic hair color such as hair print + safer professional permanent hair color with the least harmful chemicals in the industry which exclude Ammonia, PPD, Resorcinol, + Gluten.
