Things you can do

It starts with as little as a:

Cut Call Compliment

THE 3 C’S

CUT

The power of a Haircut is beyond what most people realise. It can change the way a person feels outside, but utilising the way it can change how a person feels inside is where the real beauty of a haircut lies. Change the way a person feels on he inside during your next appointment - Check on how they’ve been mentally. Get real. 

CALL

Everyone’s seen the videos of people calling someone to tell them they love them. Take the time to choose someone today and remind them you love them, don’t feel weird or uncomfortable. Make it weird.

COMPLIMENT

People put effort into how they present themselves,  a simple compliment can go a long way. If you notice something share it, especially when you realise someone hasn’t been putting as much effort into themselves recently. Find something to compliment someone about. Compliment a stranger.
