Fudge Professional Global Ambassador Jonathan Andrew was seen on Channel 4 Steph’s Packed Lunch recently for a very special makeover he’s calling the ‘Comfort Cut’ with recently diagnosed MasterChef Semi-finalist, Vanessa D’Souza aka The Autistic Chef.
After 3-years of avoiding cutting her hair due to sensory issues and general concerns, Jonathan gave her a beautiful bob live on TV, cutting off 15 inches of Vanessa’s hair that she then kindly donated to The Little Princess Trust. In doing so, Jonathan became privy to the importance of struggles neurodivergent individuals face in day-to-day services we often take for granted.
Jonathan is using his long-standing industry knowledge to reach out to other salon owners and raise awareness of the importance of being inclusive in order to make every individual feel understood, safe, and nurtured when they come into a salon. Jonathan says: “As Fudge Professional Global Ambassadors, we share a message of #fudgetherules by championing every individual. Hair salons are among the most diverse places you can go, making people feel good about themselves, and encouraging individuality. I’m proud to be a part of an incredibly inclusive industry but I think we as salon owners and stylists can do more to welcome a whole new community into feeling more comfortable within our spaces.
After speaking with more neurodivergent individuals, I couldn’t believe how many simple fixes could make everything more accommodating and create somewhere everyone can go. I will be rolling out much more content on this to show others how we can help make small changes that make a big difference to people’s lives.”
