Ultimately had to give up… no medication, nothing would work for me. I miss my life, my identity as a stylist… after I quit doing hair in 2007, my apartment burnt down on Labor Day… was homeless til a few months ago and still can’t do hair. Can’t even afford to renew my license, or buy clippers and scissors. This is a serious condition and a serious ailment for stylists, please keep spreading awareness.


I suffered through this for about 4 years as a hairstylist, and always hid it as best I could out of embarassment, anxiety, and not wanting to be a liability to an already demanding and unsympathetic employers… it got to the point where I was reacting even to the moisture inside gloves. I suffered through it, working with a smile on my face, crafting my work, with no skin, in constant agony… all day every day, even at home. Couldn’t even type anymore, but I never missed a day of work.
