Whenever anyone asks where The Second Salon got its name from, they get a long answer. I realise it’s not a name that immediately explains itself.
This business has always been about giving beautiful humans a cushion.
A comfort.
A safe place to land.
Supporting people to create soft and calming spaces of their own.
It’s a self-care of sorts. While being conscious of the way this phrase is oftentimes used out of context.I used to use the phrase “self-care” a lot more than I do now. I suppose I feel like it gets thrown around with little regard for the nuance that a conversation about self-care requires.The self-care I talk about is clearly the surface level stuff. I hope that saying that doesn’t diminish its importance. What I’m trying to do is acknowledge life and its structures can be complex and difficult, and obviously there’s no way diffusing some essential oils will have an impact on some of the big things.
But - there are self-care-like things we can do that will generally make us feel better. Going for a massage, getting a facial, going to a workshop. While beneficial, these things take time to plan, attend, and can be expensive.
Second is the next option.
Creating your own spaces is more accessible. Spaces that are already yours, that are ready when you are.
Salon means room.
