Discover social hairdressing
At this conference, we will explore “socio-coiffure,” a specialization that complements the hairdressing profession and is dedicated to supporting people who are vulnerable due to illness, disability, advanced age, or financial hardship. Beyond hair care, this practice helps restore self-esteem, rebuild social connections, and improve psychological well-being. Although still relatively unknown, social hairdressing is gradually gaining ground in France thanks to specially trained professionals.
