Hairdressers as informal caregivers study at Rochester
A University of Rochester study finds hairdressers spend about a third of their time listening and advising on intimate problems. Interviews with 90 Rochester area professionals show many clients seek counsel from stylists, not mental health experts, with most clients aged 30 to 60 and predominantly middle class. The research notes variability in effectiveness and suggests training informal caregivers like hairdressers could extend support networks.
