[215] We often talk about creating and fostering welcoming salon spaces for all clients, but are we truly walking the talk if some clients have to travel outside of their neighbourhood to get even just a simple cut and style?
Featuring Christopher Aaron (@christopheraaronstudio on Instagram), Advanced Healing Artist for L'ANZA and Salon Centric influencer, this week's episode explores the relationship between hair and identity, the barriers to catering for all types of hair, and discusses fostering inclusion both from an individual and industry-wide perspective.
Offering an inclusive experience in your salon doesn't necessarily mean completely changing your setup or services. However, it at least means outgrowing our comfort zone as hairstylists, and to that, there are plenty of benefits.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
