A break during a work day can be a rarity in the life of a hair stylist. A brief window of time amidst back-to-back clients, to retreat to the break room. A safe-haven for all beauty professionals alike where you usually hide away to fret about color formulations, check your schedule because “Why is Lisa here when her appointment is at 1pm?”, or scarf down your lunch in 2 minutes standing up like some sort of horse or gazelle.

Time and time again you squander those precious five minutes mindlessly scrolling through your social media apps, not even remembering the last 20 videos you just watched. What if there was a place you could go to find a concentrated dose of hair or other beauty industry related content? Entertaining yourself with content that actually pertains to your life.

Well, thankfully you’ve wandered into the ‘Break Room’ at Split Ends. A collection of all sorts of media across the internet related to hair and beauty; involving things I find interesting, educational, or at the very least made me laugh.

Enjoy your break, and come back to the Break Room when you need a breather (or run out of things to talk about for the day).
