Yeah, I would be totally on board with knowing what the signs are and using those to help them, not so much with eying a bruise and possibly asking invasive questions.

If that’s the case then I’m totally on board, I would like that kind of training.

I do have resources handy because I’ve had co-workers and friends who have been through these situations and I like to have the information on the ready so I can give them a way out. I think a class on what resources are available, how to offer them and how to approach the subject should someone come to you with that…

Oh I would absolutely encourage anyone I knew was going through that to leave without a doubt, whether I knew them or not. My concern is pushing someone who isn’t willing to tell me what happened more than what to say when someone confides in me with that kind of information. I took a criminal investigation class a…

If a customer confided in me that she (or he) was facing an abusive partner at home I would absolutely share the resources I know of and encourage them to find a way out. I actually have the contact information for a couple of local SAAFE houses because when I have the extra money I like to buy some nice shampoos and…

Which I think is great, and I hope that’s exactly what it is. Just seems weird to classify that as a “recognizing the signs” class — we shouldn’t be examining customers.

I get that, but with no obligation to report what they want the hairstylists to do with the information is unclear. I guess once they have the class, they’ll figure it out? I’ve known people in this situation and the thing is you can’t convince someone to leave if they’re not ready or willing to do so. All I know is…

Hair can be pretty deep! I have a co-worker that found a mole on a customer’s scalp and suggested the customer get it looked at — turned out to be a melanoma. Plus, you’d be surprised what people will tell you just because. The gritty details of a break-up, the full scoop on a spouse’s illness or surgery, I have…

As a hairstylist, I don’t think I’d ever try to be a sleuth about it. If they had a visible, nasty bruise I’d likely say “Ouch! Where’d that come from?” If, from there, someone decided to confide in me about DV then I’d be open to talking about it but I’m not going to grill someone, that’s weird.

As a hairstylist, we don’t usually talk about our customers unless they left a fat tip or were extremely rude to us — at least in the five salons I’ve worked at.

Will was there for a second when he got the call about Juliette GOD PAY ATTENTION

“The only conferences we’ll need when I’m president is the bigly, very important ones.”

“I’m very smart, I don’t need press conferences.”

Please don’t wish that on those of us who live here and are sane.

Let’s be honest Mitchy-Poo probably could care less how extreme Trumpkin’s cabinet gets as long as he gets to throw giant public fits as if it’s acceptable for senators to behave like toddlers.

I read the chronicle and it was actually more like the whole proceeding was testy than any specific person in the article.

The Blue Bell catastrophe was no laughing matter, ma’am. I didn’t have ice cream for like a year because it’s the only ice cream i eat.

Did they learn nothing from Whole Woman’s Health v Hellerstedt? Jesus. Excuse me while I prepare to have to cover yet another shitty law passed by my state’s shitty officials because the world clearly isn’t shitty enough without this bullshit.

Tbh it’s all kind of played out to me.

No that was the “We’ll put a boot in your ass it’s the American way” one.
