Managing Anxiety at Work as a Team in a Salon

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 here in the UK, and Mental Health Awareness Month for the whole of May in the US, so we wanted to address this extremely important subject with some helpful info on how you can manage anxiety at work.

Anxiety is the theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and it would be difficult to come across a soul who doesn’t experience anxiety about something in their lives, but when it starts to affect everyday activities, that’s a clear sign to check in with yourself.

Much advocacy for reducing the stigma around mental health means that people are being more honest and open than ever, and inspiration has begun sprouting from people you would never expect, like celebrities and other important public figures. During a recent visit to Laura Lane Studios in Market Harborough, Vagaro came to realise that anxiety and other mental health issues can easily trickle into the workplace. The question is: How do we handle it when it does?

Vagaro chatted with the owner of Laura Lane Studios (Laura), the Salon Manager (Lucy), Senior Stylist (Abbie), and the Trainee Stylist & Receptionist (Hannah) to find out how they manage it.

Everyone laughs at the real-life struggle in typical British fashion. But when the playfulness stops, the ladies share some solid tactics for when times get tough in the studios and Hannah shares what’s important for them as a collective workforce.

Learn more about why your mental health matters for your business.

Laura puts the cherry on top as she shares: We’ve all got a bit of a wonky brain, but it’s just part of who we are!
