We believe that the salon can be much more than a place to get your hair done. It's also safe space for LGBTQ+ people and a haven for hairdressers to find community and purpose. The mission of Hairdressers United is to share this message of hope and create an inclusive space and a better future for all in the community. By supporting our salon professionals with LGBTQ+ education and awareness, we aim to ensure the salon is always a safe space for all.
Since its inception in 1960, Redken has focused its efforts on educating and empowering hairdressers to be the best in the industry by equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to excel in their career. Now, we're taking our education to a new level by working with our pros to make salons a safe space for LGBTQ+ stylists and consumers.
On top of Redken's new online LGBTQ+ education courses, we're leveraging the amazing It Gets Better education modules to upskill salon professionals with training certification. These courses will allow salons to become a Redken Certified Safe Space Salon.
Education isn't our only goal. We're also sharing personal stories from the LGBTQ+ stylist community to raise awareness and spread hope. With this initiative, our goal is to ensure the salon remains an inclusive, empathetic space for clients and stylists at every point of their journey.
