For so many women, there’s nothing like waking up on a Saturday morning, sitting in your stylist’s chair, and leaving the salon with a fresh cut, color, and blowout that leaves you ready to take on the weekend. Our stylists are our therapists, self-esteem boosters, and friends—and even when salons were closed during the pandemic, many still found ways to give clients the expert tips and tricks they needed to keep their manes thriving at home.

What is Hairstylist Appreciation Day?

In short, it’s a day when we show our favorite hair pros a few extra tokens of love. Our hair is a big part of our identity, and National Hairstylist Appreciation Day is an opportunity to showcase just how thankful we are for their passion and commitment to our happiness. While we’re always grateful for the magic our stylists work on our tresses, we may often forget the long hours, weekends, and time they sacrifice away from their families. Not to mention the extended hours spent on their feet and the dedication it takes to continue honing their skills through additional school or training.

How Do You Appreciate Your Stylist?

There’s no right or wrong way to wish your stylist a Happy Hairstylist Appreciation Day. How far you’re willing to go all depends on your relationship with your stylist and what you’re comfortable with. Some of our favorite ways to show our gratitude on Hairstylist Appreciation Day is by sneaking in an extra tip, sending a virtual payment or gift card for coffee, and tagging our stylists in Instagram posts that showcase some of their best work.

Another way you can join in on the festivities on National Hairstylist Appreciation Day is to give your stylist free creative reign over your hair, letting them cut, color, or style you any way they see fit! After all, they’re masterminds of their craft, and they often know what looks good on us better than we do.

“Because dealing with hair loss is stressful enough, and it’s amazing to have someone as dedicated to the health of my hair as I am. She knows my hair better than I do.”

“Because, on top of making sure my hair looks great (despite graying, postpartum hair loss, and ALL the damage I do to it with hot tools every single day), she’s also a young mom and gives me the BEST advice without any judgment. She also knows that even when I say I want a bob, I don’t, and for that, I am forever grateful.”
