Wellness Matters – Pivot Point International

Wellness Matters

Let’s transform the beauty industry by prioritizing wellness—because shaping a successful future begins with us.

The Foundation of a Thriving Career

At Pivot Point, we believe confident and compassionate beauty professionals are built on a foundation of mental, physical, and emotional well-being. That’s why wellness is at the heart of our mission—to empower schools and industry professionals to thrive in both their careers and personal lives.

Our approach is guided by two comprehensive research studies that explored the wellness needs of beauty school students, instructors, and industry professionals. These insights have shaped initiatives tailored to the unique challenges faced by our community. From The Vitality Project wellness education catalog to mental health lessons integrated into our Fundamentals licensure curriculum, we’ve ensured wellness is more than a priority—it’s part of the learning experience.

Through partnerships with The Tease and Shear Haven, we extend support beyond the classroom, offering mental health resources and domestic violence awareness training specific to the beauty industry. Together, these tools embody our commitment to fostering a supportive, resilient beauty community. Explore the resources and initiatives below to start building a strong foundation of wellness today.
