A Leeds salon is adopting a "zero tolerance" policy to domestic abuse and encouraging their clients to speak out.
Hair With Pride, in Haigh Wood Road, Horsforth, is working with West Yorkshire Police to campaign for Cut It Out. The campaign recognises that a hairdresser, barber or beauty therapist is in a position of privilege with their client. Not only are they working physically close to them but also very often, they are someone trusted to talk to or confide in if they are suffering as a victim of domestic abuse.
The campaign has introduced into salons around other northern areas of the UK, and Yorkshire salons are now following in their footsteps. Hairdresser Angel Reed said since promoting the campaign, her customers at Hair With Pride have been opening up.
