Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared space with us.
Tomorrow, Quarita “Q” Futrell and Angela “Phrenchie” French take us behind the chair at their own salons for Day 2: Real Salons.

Stylists, this one is for you to share with your clients.

For a long time it felt like stylists and derms were on opposite sides. At S.T.R.A.N.D., we don’t see it that way. You see your client’s scalp more than anyone. You notice, you take a photo, you write it down, and a dermatologist helps her understand what’s going on. Recognition is not diagnosis.

Your clients are hearing from the internet that they need a better, different or more expensive product to grow their hair. Hair loss is already expensive, and we don’t want them to waste another minute or another dollar guessing. Without a diagnosis from a dermatologist, every product is a guess. With one, you and her derm can work on the same plan.

Send this to a client who needs to hear it, or share it to your stories. 💛
