Beauty Services in Rehab Centers: Enhancing Wellness and Confidence
In rehabilitation facilities, where residents often face health challenges and long recovery periods, personal well-being is just as vital as physical healing. One increasingly valued service in these settings is on-site beauty care. DashStylists is at the forefront of this movement, as a trusted provider of professional beauty services by the residents and their families
Why beauty services matter in rehab centers
Beauty services, such as haircuts, hairstyling, manicures and pedicures, offer more than just aesthetic benefits. They foster self-esteem, mental well-being, and a sense of normalcy for individuals who may feel vulnerable or isolated. Regular beauty care can be a key part of the holistic healing process in rehabilitation centers or nursing homes.
What is specific about hair services in a rehabilitation facility (or nail services)
Providing hair services in a rehab center comes with specific points of attention for the beautician
Starting with neck and back : It is extremely important to use extra support (can be towels), and pay extra attention to the neck area, by adjusting the chair, having the patient move regularly their neck or taking breaks, to reduce strain. Many seniors have arthritis or limited mobility.
Older adults may also have more delicate or dry scalps. It's strongly recommended to use gentle products and avoid high heat or tight hairstyles. Like allergies or skin sensitivities can be amplified with health condition. Confirm any product allergies or sensitivities. Aging skin is often more reactive.
The thinning hair : choose styles and techniques that add volume or make thin hair look fuller. Be careful not to tug or over-brush.
Communication and behaviors must be different from a regular salon
You need to be very patient and gentle. Seniors may move more slowly or need more explanation. Approach every interaction with empathy and dignity.
The communication must be adjusted. Speak clearly and explain what you're doing. Check in frequently to make sure they're comfortable and understand.
Also the beauty pro must pay attention to hearing aids and glasses. Ask before removing them and make sure you put them back on or put them in a safe place the patient can easily remember and access. And don't spray near ears if you haven't removed the hearing aids.
