feelings ✨ moments recently I realized that in order to become comfortable with the straight razor, you can’t fear the feeling of holding it in your hand. p.s. in recognition of mental health awareness month, can I just say how grateful I am that my anxiety hasn’t forced me out of this industry, but has actually helped me work through it in so many ways. being with people, having them rely on me or believe in me, following through, working with intention, moving through the heat of panic and comparison traps, communicating instead of disconnecting...all of these are things I continue to struggle with in many aspects of my life; but cutting hair is helping me overcome the discomfort that comes with them for me. even in these moments of my life, where I realized I needed to step back for a minute, I can see all the ways in which I am a stronger person because of haircutting. it’s funny that in putting my scissors down these days, I’m seeing how learning this skill set has helped me know that it’s okay to just be me, anxieties and imperfections included, for the first time in my life. I’m looking forward to picking up my tools again soon, but until then, here’s a video of my cutting @matejagibert little side piece with my razor, as captured by @shrunknheads during my class @salon.wire a few weeks ago 🤍 #mentalhealthawareness #haircutting #headparty #hairinspo #straightrazor
