00:00Mayavana's technology is one of the kind state-of-the-art technology that most
00:05people haven't had the experience to have. What sparked the idea to create to heal?
00:09I noticed that we were great at telling stories but we weren't doing much in
00:14terms of actually going out into the community. Being able to heal communities
00:19through care is like what this purpose is all about.
00:25Hi Miss Carolyn. Are we ready to do this transformation? Yes we are. Okay let's come on in.
00:33This is Joy. This is our barber Jeff.
00:41I was a little nervous when I walked in. I didn't know what to expect but everybody was so great.
00:50So we have this amazing Mayavana scope that's going to allow us to be able to actually see
00:56what's going on here at your hair on your scalp level. You see all those little hairs? Yes. That's
01:01your hair. Okay. So I know it looks like little tubes right? Uh-huh. Because we're at a really
01:06really high microscopic level. Those are areas that are then we're going to help to kind of clear out
01:11and detoxify today. Okay excited. You ready to get going? I'm excited for you. I can't wait for this
01:16transformation. Oh good. Thank you. Yes. It's going to be awesome. Okay. What it means to be a part of
01:21an event like this is uplifting and rewarding actually. Very inspiring and I've been given a gift,
01:28a talent that I would like to share. Moment of truth, Miss Carolyn. Yes. We're doing it.
01:36We are doing it. It is coming.
01:42Look what we have here. Ten years of growth. Ten years. Oh my gosh. Wow.
01:51When we thought about how do we serve either formerly incarcerated people or people who survived the
01:57wildfire, the salon was a natural fit. It's a sanctuary for them. It's where they can just put all of
02:02the
02:02things that they're dealing with outside and just come in and just feel, feel at ease.
02:07Well you haven't seen your hair in over ten years. There you go.
02:12Oh my gosh. It feels better. Yeah. Okay queen. So we got you all detangled. How you feeling?
02:19I'm feeling wonderful. You're feeling wonderful. Okay. So we're going to take you to the next step.
02:22We're going to go ahead and take you to the shampoo room. I'm going to detox your hair. We're going
02:25to give
02:26you a good hydrating shampoo and a treatment. Okay. Okay. So we can get these curls back popping. You ready?
02:31All right.
02:32I'm so excited for you. This is going to be so fun. So this is going to be a hydrating
02:38shampoo. Okay. Now
02:39that we've detoxed you and gotten a lot of toxins and things like that, now we need to start back
02:44putting the moisture back in. Okay. I know that was relaxing. Oh wow. Yeah. That's what we want.
02:54That's what we want. That's what you deserve. Maybe I'll sleep all night tonight.
02:57When I got here, I was feeling weighted down. Now I feel much lighter and it was really wonderful.
03:06Okay queen. So what we're going to do here is put some leave-in in and just kind of start
03:13shaping you a little bit. Okay. Look at those curls.
03:28The moment today that stuck with me even most was helping Miss Caroline. And when she walked in
03:32and saw the transformation of her hair and the release of all the years of damage and trauma,
03:38it was a beautiful thing to see the smile on her face. What does wellness look like for me now
03:43in
03:43the season of my life? Well, it looks like I have a future.
03:49I'll see you next time.
03:49Bye.
03:49Bye.
03:51Bye.
03:53Bye.
03:57Bye.
04:00Bye.
04:00Bye.
