UNThis is my old salon but the information is still relevant, it’s so important to have accessible options for your disabled customers 💕 here’s some tips - HOW TO MAKE YOUR SALON WHEELCHAIR
ACCESSIBLE- a few tips how I do - with a portable basin, a fold out ramp, a bucket for water to wash into, and if you don’t have an accessible bathroom, you can find a neighbour close by that does! &) I love doing Bree’s hair and I thought it was important to make this video to inspire more salons how easy it can be to be an inclusive wheelchair accessible space, providing comfort and making it easy for you disabled clients to get their hair done! I used @manicpanicnyc on Bree’s hair and we loveeeee the result! Also, just take it slow, even with our neurodivergent clients, clients on the spectrum, even clients with anxiety - and ask if people need a break in between to make the process easier and better for the client. It makes people comfortable knowing the hair dresser is willing to take the time and understand the clients needs... hair salons can be really overwhelming sensory wise, as-well as the actual hair dressing part of it or changing looks / feeling like vou have a new identity. Sometimes clippers can be overhelming, the bristles of a brush on the scalp, hair washing, or the music can be too loud and overstimulating... Sensory overload! I have fidget toys for anxiety too. Bree suffers with chronic pain, so as well as taking her medication before, during and after to relieve pain whilst in the salon, she will grab an extra chair to pop her leg up to relieve her pain if need be too, so it’s important to pay extra attention to your clients needs with a disability or that may be experiencing pain and just politely check if there’s anything that they need while they’re in your space while they’re in and through prior discussion.
