At Scentered, our mission has always been to promote self-care, and wellness. As part of this commitment, we are proud to partner with the Hair & Beauty Charity for their “I’m Not Just” campaign. This initiative celebrates the resilience and dedication of those in the hair and beauty industry while also addressing the very real challenges they face behind the scenes.

The Hair & Beauty Charity has been a cornerstone of support for professionals in the industry for over 150 years. It provides crucial financial assistance to individuals who are experiencing illness, injury, or financial difficulty. Many of the people we turn to for confidence, transformation, and personal care are often struggling themselves. Whether it’s due to health issues, unexpected crises, or economic struggles, the Hair & Beauty Charity ensures that these professionals have a safety net when they need it most.

The "I'm Not Just" campaign’s aim is to remind everyone that the individuals working in hair and beauty salons, and spas are not just service providers—they are also people with their own stories, struggles, and dreams. They’re not just hairdressers or beauticians; they are business owners, mentors, and creatives who shape our self-esteem and well-being.

The Hair & Beauty Charity Manager, Natalie Merola explains, “I’m Not ‘Just’ …” campaign is about recognising all the work that our industry does outside of the expected.  We know as a Charity that it’s not a simple career and that you are always going over and above to care for others – your team, customers, families, each other, and sometimes it’s about taking a moment for yourself.  Partnering with Scentered is a wonderful initiative to raise awareness of the work you do and the help we provide as the official industry charity.”

This campaign also emphasises the crucial importance of mental and emotional well-being within the industry. Many professionals invest significant energy in uplifting others, often neglecting their own self-care needs. It is important for individuals to prioritise self-care in order to prevent burnout and maintain overall health.

Lara Morgan, Founder of Scentered says, “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Hair & Beauty Charity on the “I'm Not ‘Just’ …” campaign. This initiative is a heartfelt shout-out to all the incredible industry professionals who are not 'just' hairdressers, nail technicians, barbers, and beauty therapists. They are true professionals who provide so much in addition to their incredible skills - they offer support, a listening ear, and help clients feel confident in themselves. Through this campaign, we aim to empower these unsung heroes and raise funds to support them in times of need, ensuring they receive the recognition and assistance they deserve."

In partnership with the Hair & Beauty Charity, Scentered is dedicated to uplifting the people in the beauty industry and ensuring they feel valued and supported. Let’s unite in raising awareness and extending a helping hand to those who consistently support us in our times of need.

“You are not just a hairdresser, nail technician, barber, or beauty therapist. You are a confidant, a supporter, a creator of confidence, and so much more.”
