We’ve just opened
Brotherhood, the ‘brother
grooming’ salon of
Nashwhite located in The
Neighbourhood – a street

I have been asked to speak at
Salon Smart and I was blown
away! I will be exploring a little
more about mental health and
mindfulness for salon owners
and hair professionals for
the event, and I cannot wait
to share what I have found
out from my
research and
conversations.
