Tanu now owns and operates a very successful salon, and in December 2023 Tanu finished mentoring and training Krishnamma, who has now opened her own salon in the village. We donated a suitcase of hair tools to get her started.

Vanhamel Antwerp​

Antwerp, Belgium

"For 6 years we have been organising 'Central Hairstation' at Antwerp Central Station. The event is about giving back to the less fortunate. ​This year we took our initial project further and incorporated numerous organizations that support disadvantaged youth. It was heartwarming to be able to help our future. Haircuts, clothing, soup, sandwiches, coffee, survival kits were only a few of the things we offered to these gorgeous humans."

Ginger & ​Maude 

Portland Oregon

''I have a desire to make sure everybody feels genuinely welcomed in my salon, leading to the introduction of livable wages for all staff members, installation of size-inclusive chairs and custom-designed cutting capes, quiet appointments for clients with anxiety, diversity in hiring and redefining our pricing structure to be based on hair length, rather than gender. We also have a Learning Exchange Program which addresses the lack of education and equitable haircare services for those extra curly and coily hair and is available for clients with 4A-4C textures. All appointments through this program are free of charge and while stylists enhance their skill set."

Reign Salon &​ Retreat​

Melbourne, Australia 

“The Human Hairdresser’ originally began as a workshop I created to educate hairdressers on how to look after their own health. As part of this, I donated boxes of hair equipment to @deadly_hairdude, a company that develops and maintains a capable workforce in remote communities in Australia's Northern Territory, training indigenous people to cut, colour and style hair. Another part of 'The Human Hairdresser' is being an ambassador for @hair3rs which is a nonprofit organisation preventing domestic & family violence by educating hairdressers and barbers on how to recognise, respond and refer any client that may be vulnerable.
