A Space for Kids with Disabilities
Am I Allergic to Gel Polish
December 9, 2024
Being a parent or guardian of someone with disabilities or sensory disorders isn’t always easy. One task many dread is coming to a salon to get their hair cut. We have created a space to help take the attention off of the haircut, to help focus on what’s best for your child!
The CAN Room
You may have seen our previous blog about our CAN Room, where we assist those with cancer or other medical conditions with wigs. In addition, we also use the CAN Room when we are doing services on clients with disabilities. Instead of being in the middle of the salon where you feel the attention from everyone is on you and your child, the CAN Room offers a semi-private space so you can breathe easier.
Professionals with Patience
It can be stressful to know who to trust with your child. You need someone kind and you need someone who has patience. You trusting us to cut your child’s hair is something our professionals take very seriously. In return, we try our best to be as patient as possible and be kind. We will not be judging you or your child.
The Importance of Working Together
Is this an appointment we need to break up into multiple, shorter appointments? Let’s work it out. Do they need a little break so everyone can calm down? Let’s do it. Do they need a toy or object to distract them? As long as everyone is safe, it’s no problem! We want to work with you, and with your child, to make this experience the best it can be. We have moved the chair to accommodate wheelchairs, scheduled on a quieter day and time, and more.
Because we Care
Why go through all this effort for one person, for one appointment? Because we care. Going the extra mile in our appointments can mean making a world of difference for someone. From helping someone grow their confidence to helping a parent of a child with disabilities breathe a little easier for a moment, we’re here to help every step of the way… because we care!
