Welcome to hj's stress-busting week 2020: the official schedule

HJ's Stress-Busting Week sponsored by Wella Professionals is taking place from Monday 2 November to Sunday 8 November, designed to help anyone working in the tumultuous world of hair during these challenging and unpredictable times. We aim to provide daily business, educational and inspirational content that will help tackle high stress levels for those working in the industry. Hairdressers Journal International's editor Laura Husband says: "HJ's first ever Stress-Busting Week, sponsored by Wella Professionals coincides with International Stress Awareness Week. There's no doubt about it – this year has brought with it more stress, anxiety and challenges than ever before on both a personal and professional level. "The hairdressing industry has really pulled together this year and the team at Hairdressers Journal International is extremely proud to be a part of it. We can't imagine what it's like working in full PPE everyday and there's also the on-going worries about whether your salon or independent business can remain open with the COVID-19 situation changing everyday. "We really hope HJ's Stress-Busting Week, sponsored by Wella Professionals will give you the tools you need to manage any feelings of stress and anxiety. We'll also be sharing expert hints and tips for small ways you can add some much-needed fun into your daily routine, which of course you can share with your client's too!"
