Hair NV by Jade

When you think you know someone 🤣🤣

I snorted while having this conversation with my client 💜

Some of my clients have been sitting in my chair for years.

Some... for decades. Over time, something beautiful happens.

The appointments become about so much more than hair.

I've watched people start new jobs, get married, become parents and grandparents. We've celebrated the highs, supported each other through the hard seasons, laughed until we've cried, and somehow developed the kind of inside jokes that make absolutely no sense to anyone else.

There are conversations about life, family, holidays, health, dreams... and sometimes we simply enjoy the quiet together.

What started as a client appointment has grown into genuine connection. I never take that trust for granted.

To everyone who has chosen to spend a little part of their life in my chair over the years, thank you. Thank you for your stories, your laughter, your honesty, and for allowing me to be a small part of your journey.

It really is one of the greatest privileges of this job. 💜

If you've ever wondered why hairdressers love what they do, it's because it's never just about the hair.

"My hair has completely changed..."

It's something I'm hearing more and more from women in their 40s and 50s.

Suddenly your hair feels...
• Thinner.
• Drier.
• Frizzier.
• More brittle.
• Less shiny.
• Flatter at the roots but oily at the scalp.
• Curlier... or straighter than it used to be.

And it can feel like the products you've trusted for years have simply stopped working.

You're not imagining it.

As our hormones change through perimenopause and menopause, the amount of oestrogen in our bodies gradually declines. Oestrogen plays a role in supporting healthy hair growth, moisture and elasticity, so when it changes, our hair often changes too.

The good news? Your hair isn't "ruined"—it just has different needs now.

Sometimes it's about changing your home care.
Sometimes it's your colour routine.
Sometimes your scalp needs just as much attention as your ends.
And sometimes it's simply understanding why your hair feels different, because that alone can be incredibly reassuring.

As both a hairdresser and a Menopause Wellness Coach, I'm passionate about helping women navigate these changes with knowledge, realistic expectations and practical strategies—without the overwhelm.

Because menopause doesn't just affect our hormones... it can affect how we feel about ourselves too. 💜

Have you noticed your hair changing? I'd love to hear what's been different for you.
