Sometimes carefully arranged hair may conceal a bruise. Maybe a woman's cell phone constantly rings with calls from a possessive boyfriend as her stylist trims her bangs. Or a woman's reluctance to change into a robe for highlights leads her to confide that she's been hurt.

Whatever the reason, cosmetologists often are on the front lines of witnessing the effects of domestic violence and glimpsing controlling relationships. In the past, salon professionals might have been able to lend a sympathetic ear, but they may not have known the correct way to steer their clients to help.

Under the "Cut It Out" program, cosmetologists are being trained how to recognize the signs of abuse and to provide domestic violence resources to those who need them.

"Hairdressers have license to touch — they become a friend, tell you everything about them, you tell them everything about you," said Vilma Colon Cobb of Salon ABC in Columbia, S.C. "We go through their divorces, the birth of their children, there's a connection there. … It's not like going to a doctor or going to a preacher. Your cosmetologist is your friend — she's equal with you."
