What we do:
1. PsychoHairapy Certification
Access our self-paced certification program designed for hairstylists and barbers who want to deepen their understanding of mental health. Learn at your own pace through videos, reflections, and interactive tools — and become part of a growing community of certified PsychoHairapists creating healing spaces behind the chair.
2. Workshops & Community Activations
Bring mental health into the room — not just the treatment menu.
We partner with salons, schools, nonprofits, and brands to lead transformative, culturally affirming workshops that support emotional wellness in hair spaces. These events are custom-built to fit your team, community, or audience — and rooted in real, lived experience.
3. Consulting
Reimagine the beauty experience through a healing lens.
From inclusive salon practices to mental wellness strategy, we provide expert consulting to brands, schools, and organizations seeking to center mental health and cultural care in their beauty spaces.
4. Research
Where hair meets psychology and culture.
We lead research on the power of hair as a site of identity, resilience, and emotional care. Our work brings academia, beauty, and mental health together — and makes it accessible for therapists, beauty pros, and educators.
