This issue of MODERN celebrates industry game changers—stylists and artists who are reinventing, reshaping and bringing new energy and ideas to the salon craft. This month’s Healthy Hairdresser Challenge encourages you to celebrate your OWN game changing moments—an adjustment you made to your salon routine, your personal health regimen, or even to your mindset—any shift you have made that has helped you feel and function better in body, spirit or business!
Share just one example at modernsalon.com/healthy between August 1-31, and you’ll be rewarded with a game-changing product experience from Healthy Hairdresser sponsorPARODI Professional Care. PARODI Professional Care is a salon brand created by a hairstylist that is dedicated to helping hairdressers feel great every day, all day long, with soothing, protective, specialized products for your most important—and vulnerable—tools: your hands, feet and legs. Everyone who enters the challenge will receive a sample of PARODI Professional Care’s “Healthy Hairdresser Hero” product, the Daily Moisturizing Hand Cream, with 50 lucky participants winning a full size ($18 value) of the popular game-changer for salon hands.
Taking the challenge is easy!
Step 1: Choose your personal game-changer—something you decided to adjust in your personal or professional routine in the past year or so that has helped you feel and/or perform better. It can be something simple or small, or a major change. Anything that made an impact!
Step 2: Think about what motivated or inspired this shift. (Maybe Healthy Hairdresser helped!) Did you have an AHA moment? Did you consciously decide you needed to make a change to habits for health reasons? Did you have a new strain, pain or stress that caused you to seek a solution? Did someone recommend you try a new product or process?
Step 3: Visit modernsalon.com/healthy between August 1-31.
Step 4: Complete the easy “What Was Your Game Changer?” form.
Step 5: Provide your mailing address and phone number to be entered to win one of 50 full-size PARODI Professional Care Daily Moisturizing Hand Creams.
