Servant Leadership NOW: "Stepping Up Your Leadership Call"
During the pandemic of COVID-19, barber shops and salons closed in Phrase 1. On the other hand, bars/saloons were allowed to open. Of course, the backlash was an uproar via social media (i.e., Facebook, Twitter). How could Questions about the rationale of decisionmakers were highlighted.
Reliving More than Hair
Generally speaking, people are attached to personal barbers or hair stylists. With good reason, I might add. What is it that makes us loyal to a particular barber or stylist over another? Why is it that after a fresh cut or style, we feel different? How is it that these professionals provide a psychological-spiritual effect which can be so transformative?
Causes Related to More than Hair
First of all, people like to experience beauty in everyday living. A recent survey was conducted by the National Institute of Medicine, by Knoll, et.al., utilizing the assistance of humans, as to what they view as beauty. “Our results indicate that we frequently encounter beauty in everyday life and that we find it in nature, in particular. Our results further suggest a mood-boosting effect of encounters with beauty. Lastly, our results indicate influences of individual differences however, these were inconclusive and require further attention.” Hence, based on your very own experiences, this survey affirms that individuals can influence how you see beauty.
Another survey entitled, ‘Are you a woman–or a flower?’ The capacity to experience beauty,” by Annie Sweetnam is of interest because of its emotionalism and empowerment. The author links beauty to empowerment. Beauty suggests empowerment as a female. However, over time, it is less important. The following statements are from the article’s abstract:
Being surprised by beauty, being drawn to and moved by it and surrendering to its sensory nature are all part of beauty’s emotionally transformative power. And yet, psychoanalysis has had little to say about such an enriching dimension of psychological life. … Experiencing beauty is a capacity that is not isolated but is part of the lifelong experience of being changed by and changing the experience of the world we live in. The capacity to experience beauty takes different forms at distinct points in development and in psychoanalytic treatments.
More than the Hairstyle
The point I choose to make in this post is simple. The professional barber and hair stylist knows much of this because of their encounters with clients. My second point that it is “more than hair,” is a starch reason for the uproar during the pandemic. For the barber or hair stylist, during the pandemic, it was about their loss of income. For the client, it was more about the loss of psychoanalytic (mind and spirit) treatments. These professionals give much to clients (without measuring intake of one’s liquors) to make them feel good. The treatment consists of special care. Each person is an individual. The job of the professional is to treat that individual uniquely. The result is meant to be a satisfying experience for both.
Therefore, looking for a positive psychoanalytic way to help in the early years of development is at your local barber and beauty shop.
