We often talk about haircuts from a purely visual perspective — your hairstylist asks, “What are we doing today?” Your answer: “Just a trim,” or “I’m thinking about a bob…” — but when we focus on the strict aesthetics of the cut, we often discount the energy shift happening at your appointment. Like everything else, hair holds energy, and it’s common to experience a flood of emotions before a haircut or a sense of release afterward. Maybe you’re blocked energetically and can’t figure out what you want to do with your hair. Luckily, many hairstylists are intuitively sensitive to energies and take extra time to talk their clients through their cut using a mindfulness approach, if they’re open to it. The result? A better, more personalized haircut in the short term, and a healthier relationship with your hair when you leave the salon.
