SAY Hair

Going back to school with a new look. Thank you for your donation of 9-11 inches of hair, Elijah! I hope you enjoy your new, easy, breezy haircut!

So much floof! 😄

🤣🤣🤣

Always so great to run into clients who share the same passion for music!

I still remember when I opened, telling my clients, “I just wish I could see myself 6 months from now and know I’m going to be ok.” Happy 9 Year Anniversary SAY Hair! ❤️

I couldn’t agree more! ❤️

In today's society, the double standards surrounding aging and appearance continue to persist, particularly when it comes to the acceptance of grey hair in men and women. While men often receive praise and are even perceived as more attractive when sporting grey hair, women are subjected to societal pressure to cover up their natural signs of aging. This disparity reflects deeply ingrained gender biases and underscores the need for a shift in attitudes towards aging and beauty standards.

For men, grey hair is often associated with wisdom, maturity, and experience. It is not uncommon to hear phrases such as "distinguished" or "silver fox" used to describe men with grey hair, with many being celebrated for embracing their natural aging process. In contrast, when women begin to show signs of grey hair, they are frequently met with stigma and pressure to conceal it through various means, such as hair dye or other cosmetic treatments. This discrepancy in societal attitudes highlights the prevailing gender norms that dictate how men and women are expected to age.

The media's portrayal of grey hair further perpetuates these double standards. Men with grey hair are often depicted as strong, confident, and attractive, reinforcing the idea that aging enhances their appeal. Meanwhile, women are bombarded with messages promoting anti-aging products and hair dyes, creating an unrealistic standard of perpetual youth and beauty. This dichotomy reinforces the notion that women should strive to maintain a youthful appearance, while men are allowed to embrace their natural aging process without facing the same level of scrutiny.

Moreover, workplace discrimination based on age and appearance disproportionately affects women with grey hair. Studies have shown that women encounter bias and are often overlooked for job opportunities due to societal perceptions of aging. This systemic issue not only undermines the professional capabilities of women but also perpetuates the belief that aging diminishes a woman's value, both in the workplace and broader society.

It is vital to challenge these ingrained biases and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable approach to aging. Embracing grey hair should not be contingent upon one's gender, and individuals should be free to express themselves authentically without fear of judgment or discrimination. Efforts to redefine beauty standards and combat ageism must involve conversations that address the underlying gender disparities perpetuated by societal norms.

In conclusion, the double standards surrounding grey hair for women versus men are a reflection of broader societal biases and expectations. It is imperative to dismantle these norms and promote a culture that celebrates aging irrespective of gender. By challenging these stereotypes and advocating for inclusivity, we can work towards creating a more equitable and accepting society where individuals are valued for who they are, regardless of their age or appearance.

After 3 years, maybe more, this beautiful lady came in for a very “overdue” cut, perm and style. It’s always such a joy when a longtime client returns and we’re able to catch up! Juanita is 96 yrs young and has been restored to the Glamorous Great Grandma she is AND she donated almost 17 inches of hair!! 👸 🙌 🥇 👏👏👏 💖
