In this segment of the video, the speaker emphasizes that the foundational value of the business is care. While technical skills can be taught, genuine compassion must come from within each employee. The speaker explains that trauma‑informed care in the beauty industry is essentially about ensuring that services do not re‑traumatize clients. Without intentional awareness, staff may inadvertently cause harm and fail to recognize it, leading to negative outcomes. The message underscores the importance of embedding care into the company culture so that interactions are naturally supportive and safe for clients who have experienced trauma.

Chapters

One of my values is care. And I always tell my employees, I'm like, I can teach you all the techniques, but I can't teach you how to be a good person. I can't teach you how to care for people. That kind of has to be inside of you. So it's not necessarily that we even had to change any of my operating procedures. It's engraved. It's, it's who we are. It's what we just naturally do. But when you are just thinking about trauma-informed care, it's really just making sure you're not re-traumatizing somebody. And if you're not intentional about that type of thinking, you will easily re-traumatize somebody, and then you won't even recognize that they're being re-traumatized, and it'll just be this whole situation of, well, I don't know what happened.
