Thousands on social media said the salons actions raised awareness of mental health.
"We all deserve to feel beautiful," says hairdresser Kayley Olsson "It took a lot of encouraging words, reassurance, and just plain conversation to take her mind off of the pain involved in removing the matting and to boost her self esteem and confidence. "I was able to very closely relate to her mental health problems and the daily struggle that comes with them, due to my struggles with postpartum depression and anxiety," explained Mariah, who has two children."I understood how it felt to feel worthless - a child should never feel like that."I knew I had to help her, just like people helped me. We all deserve to feel beautiful," Kayley said.After detangling it as far as shoulder height, Kayley and Mariah cut and shaped the teenagers hair."Lets just say we both let out tears of joy! "Her last words to me were, I will actually smile for my schools pictures today, you made me feel like me again," Kayley explained.

I see this daily its sad but so true," said Renay St Amand."Ive been in this position and I cant tell you how comforting and important it is for a hairdresser to be kind and understanding. I wasnt judged either and got my hair back to being beautiful," wrote Claire McDonald."I have been struggling with my depression and suicidal thoughts. Its hard to even get out of bed but I try to fight everything negative. Plus you are beautiful and you are worth something I promise," another woman posted."Im so glad there are people out there who understand mental illness...
