Can Teaching Hairstyling Skills Save Sex Traffic Victims?

Julz Coda and Liz Diaz: Starting BBS has definitely been the most challenging and most rewarding. We’ve experienced so much personal growth. From learning how to even speak in public to hosting Late Night WTF, producing 400+ person events, to teaching all over the world, we’ve had to learn to suit up and show up to just about every situation imaginable and get humble enough to ask for help. Putting ourselves in such a vulnerable position, putting all of ourselves out there–that’s the biggest accomplishment.
JCLD: There’s such a gap in our industry between what we learn in Cosmetology school and what happens after that, we were constantly searching for more, more education, more inspiration, everything! So we figured if we were asking all these questions, other people also had to be stuck. So we created our first blog on BBS to get answers and show other professionals what else is out there because if you’re bored in this business you are not doing enough! We found events, conventions, education, meetups, networking events, fashion shows and made tons of friends. Our drive comes from wanting to share all these experiences with other professionals who may not otherwise have access or not know that there’s more out here for hairdressers!

JCLD: Our passion is really about connecting and bringing people together. Sometimes it’s through education, sometimes it’s with our clients behind the chair, but for us, the human connection and these extremely meaningful relationships we develop with everyone we meet–that’s what it’s about. Building a community. Supporting one another.
