Care in the Chair™ started as training for licensed beauty professionals. This workshop is the next layer: owners, educators, and lead stylists design team protocols so trauma-aware care is not one person’s personality — it is the house standard. Facilitated by Rica Elysée, creator of Care in the Chair™ and Founder & CEO of BeautyLynk®, participants draft language for intake, touch consent, topic boundaries, distress response (without diagnosing), de-escalation, and when/how to refer to real help — all inside professional scope of practice. Using short scenarios and peer review, teams leave with a one-page Chair Protocol template and a 30-day rollout plan (huddle script, role-play cadence, escalation map). Content note: professional-skills and client-experience design only — not clinical, diagnostic, or therapy training. Ideal for salons, barbershops, nail studios, spas, beauty schools, and marketplace trust teams who want care that scales with culture and dignity.

Takeaways:
1. Draft a one-page Chair Protocol covering consent, language, boundaries, and escalation within beauty scope of practice.
2. Practice two client scenarios with peer feedback so the protocol survives a busy Saturday.
3. Leave with a 30-day team rollout plan (huddle script + role-play cadence) owners can implement without a clinical degree.
