Hospital or Care Home Visits
Having your hair done whilst in hospital can prove to be a real difficulty. Some illnesses do not allow for temporary discharge. If a relative is in hospital or care home then possibly a visiting mobile hairdresser could counteract this problem. These visits can keep the patient motivated and caring about their appearance. We all like to pamper our relatives and treat them from time to time and especially when they are feeling under the weather.
Sometimes a trip out to the hairdressers can be a light relief from either the hospital or care home and can recharge the client if they are still able to get about and socialise with other people in the hairdressers. As I mentioned before this is not always possible due to nature of the illness, or how frail our relatives actually are. But we would still like them to be pampered, and that’s what having your hair done is all about. Feeling like our image has been updated, or to just have our hair styled is a treat. Feeling pampered, and like they can still take care of their appearance.
For those that aren’t able to get out to a hairdressing salon, then the mobile hairdresser has to be the best option. A visit from the hairdresser can be light relief for the client and also the family. All styles and treatments that can be carried out in the salon can be accomplished in a hospital setting or care home easily. There seems to be a lot of technical machinery in a salon, but the effect can be achieved easily without the gadgets.
For all the regular visitors to the hair salon, going into hospital and not receiving their weekly dose of hair therapy can be quite upsetting. A mobile hairdresser can solve this. So long as they have an agreement with either the hospital, or care home and the client there should be no problem with completing haircuts and styles.
Sometimes visiting mobile stylists will have a regular day at the hospital or home and will be accommodating in the sense of taking into account some illnesses may have an effect on the hair and will advise on best styles during this time and also effective treatments to keep the hair in good condition.
The benefit of having a visiting hairdresser in the care homes is that carers and nurses in these instances can assist them. Some clients may require assistance to wash the hair, and to move the client around due to poor mobility or being in pain. This will ensure on hand assistance is around in case the client experiences pain or illness at any stage.
Having a treatment of hairstyling will ensure a relative will feel pampered and leave the patient feeling valued. A visit can be given as a present, or as a regular treat. The fact that our relatives and even us at times enter hospital does not mean that we should not be allowed or be able to access a simple treatment like a hair cut. Giving our ailing relatives a real treat is special and something they may value. We want them to feel cared about and looked after in every other way, and how better to pamper them than give them a treatment, a personalised treatment without having to leave the care of their ward, or even their living area.
Some treatments will require consultation with the stylist due to treatments that may not be suitable due to their condition. Close consultation with not only the stylist but also their consultant who is taking care of their health.
