A haircut could be affirming a look, including your gender.  Hair Has No Gender yet so many salons are still offering men's and women's haircuts. I commit to embracing diversity and eliminating discrimination in the hairdressing and beauty industry. I am proudly a member of The Dresscode Project. The DCP is a global alliance of salons and barbershops committed to providing positive, gender-affirming services for LGBTQ+ clients.  My role as their Australian Change Maker is creating safer spaces with transparency around gender-free pricing and terminology within consultations and services through education.   I reached out to Jain Moralee, CEO of Twenty 10 in Sydney, Australia, during the 2023 Sydney World Pride to chat with us. Twenty-10 work with people across Sydney and New South Wales who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse, non-binary, intersex, questioning, queer, asexual and more (LGBTIQA+) people and others of diverse genders and sexualities, their families and communities. Together Jain and I helped to set up the very first gender-free haircut club in Australia a couple of years ago & wanted to share our experiences from the hairdresser and youth client perspective with our listeners.    In this podcast we discuss; How to offer gender-affirming hair services Strategies for hairdressers and salons to access training for LGBTQI+ inclusivity How to host a gender-free haircut club for queer youth in your area Organisations for online and in-person training Plus so much more!  ----------------------------------------- Want to learn more?
