As we transition out of the meh weather and into bright, sunny days ( or whatever water the good ole midwest wants to grace us with each week) I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the beauty of change and the journey we’re embarking on together as a community. Change (no matter how exciting) can be a daunting prospect for many of us, but it’s also a powerful catalyst for growth, both personally and in our hair.

At Uplifted, we believe that change is not something to be feared, but something to be embraced wholeheartedly. It’s about stepping out of our comfort zones, trying new things, and discovering the beauty of transformation.

For many of us, our hair is more than just strands of protein—it’s a reflection of our identity, our personality, and our unique style. And what better way to embrace change than by experimenting with new hairstyles, colors, and trends? Whether you’re itching to chop off your locks or add a pop of color to your mane, our talented stylists are here to bring your hair dreams to life.

But beyond just changing our outward appearance, let’s also embrace change in our hearts and minds. Let’s challenge ourselves to let go of old beliefs, old habits, and old fears that may be holding us back. Let’s open ourselves up to new possibilities, new experiences, and new ways of thinking. Because it’s through change that we grow, evolve, and become the best versions of ourselves.

As we embark on this journey of transformation together, I want to share three self-care tips to help you navigate this season of change with grace and ease:

1. Nurture Your Body: Take time to care for your body, inside and out. First things first, make sure your basic needs are covered. As a society, this is overlooked far too often. Eat nourishing foods, stay hydrated, and prioritize sleep. Once those needs are met, we can focus on luxury self care like hair appointments and spa days. It’s simple, prioritizing your self leaves you energized, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle whatever challenges come your way.

2. Practice Mindfulness: In the midst of change, it’s important to stay grounded and present. Incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the beauty around you. By staying mindful, you’ll cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience that will carry you through even the most turbulent times. My personal favorite way to practice mindfulness daily is through the Insight App.

3. Connect with Others: Change can be overwhelming, but that’s where your community kicks in. . Share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with others, and lean on your support network when you need a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on. Remember, we’re all in this together, and together, we can weather any storm. Our favorite part of our job is helping you navigate your storms both in regards to your hair, but your heart too.

Thank you for entrusting us with your hair journey. We can’t wait to see where this season of change takes us.

With love and gratitude,

Kaylee + The Uplifted Team
