Domestic Abuse Stops at the Chair with CUT IT OUT®

What is CUT IT OUT®?

CUT IT OUT® The Beauty Community Against Domestic Abuse is a program offered by the Professional Beauty Association (PBA) dedicated to mobilizing salon/spa professionals, students and others to fight the epidemic of domestic abuse in communities across the United States. CUT IT OUT® builds awareness of domestic abuse through awareness materials to be displayed in salons, the “Give the Power Back” initiative to involve salons in helping local domestic violence agencies, and training salon/spa professionals and students to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients to resources.

SCHEDULE A TRAINING

Stylists, esthetician, and make-up artists are in the ideal position to recognize when something’s just not quite right with their clients. Physical signs of abuse like bruises and cuts, or outward behaviors, like self-blame, sudden lifestyle changes and irregular appointments, can indicate that a client or colleague is in trouble. Salons are often one of the few places victims can safely and confidentially share that they need help.
