Course Content

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.

I never thought of it that way...

As a professional, licensed barber and barbering professor, I already knew about the benefits for other people in the industry. However, I never really understood that there could be someone nearest to me that might be suffering in this way, more than the suffering we might go through in life in other areas. This definitely opened my eyes. Protecting our clients this way is a must.

I really liked how it brought awareness to this issue and provided important information. As a beauty professional it is important to know what to do in situations that may come up with clients and know how provide the best support possible for those who trust us and open up to us.
