Shear Haven is an initiative of the YWCA Nashville & Middle TN, co-founded by Nashville-based salon owner and stylist Susanne Post. As a survivor of domestic violence, Susanne is committed to educating the beauty industry on the signs of abuse as stylists are in a unique position to recognize the signs and potentially help a client get to safety.

This effort has extended to passing a law in Tennessee to bring the life-saving training to all licensed cosmetologists. The Shear Haven training video equips stylists with:

  • Knowledge and resources to recognize the signs of domestic violence
  • Guidance on how to successfully navigate conversations with clients who may be in danger
  • Tools and resources that can help your client get to safety
What’s Included In The Training?

This training will consist of a free 20 minute training session followed by a short three question quiz. After completion, you will receive a personalized certificate of achievement.

Very Eye Opening

I cried watching and listening to this video. My heart always goes out to any victim of abuse, be it women, children, men, or animals. Everyone please, please let's help in any way that we can. Even if it's just offering to buy a lunch or coffee or something fun for children. Show love to the hurting. They will never forget.

My review

The course was very informative. Also, I was impressed that the presentation included a survivor who has an occupation in the career field that I hold interest.

Excellent Data

As a former Therapist, to see this data again is alarming. So glad that this is a requirement. This is more than likely saving lives. Thank you for the voiceless.
