NEW WORK:: GRAY: Lindsey-002

Lindsey Smart, Stylist, 31.“I am a 31- year-old single woman. My grandmother asked if I was married yet, I’m not. And she said, “Well you better get on it before you are old and ugly!” My friends are more observational in their comments on my gray. As a society, I think people are still freaked out by gray hair. There is still a stigma. When clients come in and want to go gray, I try to encourage them, but I also am very honest and tell them they need to be strong and confident because people will comment on their going gray and they might treat you differently. It is a real commitment to go gray.”
