Social Media’s Role in Spreading the Message
The salon’s social media post of Martha’s transformation earned thousands of likes, shares, and comments within days. Her story connected with people from all walks of life, who were sharing their own experiences and admiring her courage.

Influencers in the space of beauty and lifestyle began to amplify her message, congratulating her on being a grand transformer of beauty standards. Some even inspired content off of Martha’s transformation, discussing age inclusiveness, self-confidence, and personal reinvention.
The response was overwhelmingly positive. Martha told me that the attention she gained was unexpected but heartwarming. She never thought her action of getting a haircut would appeal to so many people’s hearts. Yet, as she scanned through the messages of gratitude, she realized that her story actually touched many lives.
