Every day, hairstylists make more than hair hair – live in style. They are the first to hear our secrets, testify to our transformations and offer a listening ear by holding a flat iron in one hand and a heart in the other. But who is there to hear them?
May 27 marks the national day of mental health awareness – a reminder that the carers behind the chair also deserve care. For hairdressers, this day is not just about raising awareness. This is the creation of space. And no one incorporates this balance of beauty, healing and mental well -being more than Yalmikia Edmonds, the power behind professionals Levònyé.
From restoration to revelation
As a certified hair loss professional, Yalmikia has created a thriving brand with the belief that hair is more than vanity – identity, power and healing. Through Levònyé professionals, it helps women and girls face hair loss not only their edges but also their trust.

However, what really stands out is not just the growing list of certifications or technical experts – it is her heart.
“Hair loss is not just a natural issue – it is emotional, psychological and deep personal,” Yalmikia says. “So when women sit on my chair, I don’t just rest their hair. I help restore their hope.”
The weight behind the chair
Yalmikia knows first -hand emotional stylists. “We are therapists in disguise,” he laughs. “We hear about the disintegration, the diseases.
That is why mental health for hairdressers is more than a passion for her – it is a priority. She talks openly about her own journey, carving time for self-care, prayer, journalism and guidance to keep her own cup full.
Beauty + balance = power
As a speaker and teacher motivation, Yalmikia’s mission extends beyond the living room. It trains the upcoming stylists on how to manage customers’ feelings without absorbing them and how to build a business that prioritizes both success and logic.

The future of hair is holistic
Yalmikia believes that the future of hair care is holistic-where talks on scalp treatments sit next to talks about self-esteem. And with leaders such as in the spotlight, the industry is redefined a line of hair and heart every time.
So, this May 27, let’s celebrate the stylists who help us shine – and remind them that their light matters.
