In this episode, we chat to the Resilient Hairdresser, Hayley Jepson, about her unique journey in the hair and beauty industry. Starting a career as a hairdresser from young age, Hayley thrived in the fun and creative salon environment, eventually working her way up at Toni and Guy. However, she experienced burnout and mental health struggles, leading her to seek therapy and ultimately become a therapist herself. Hayley emphasises the importance of addressing the challenges in the hairdressing profession and setting boundaries with clients. She shares strategies to prevent burnout, including creating boundaries, managing energy, and recharging appropriately. Hayley also discusses her transition from hairdressing to psychotherapy and the creation of her business, The Resilient Hairdresser, which offers workshops, courses, coaching, and a membership community.
