My pet peeve in Reflexology.
I just can’t stand it. Working as a professional Reflexologist in jeans and a t-shirt doesn’t cut it with me.
It all started with “Casual Friday” in the business world. A special day created for the white collar group allowing us a more casual dress for Fridays. In other words instead of wearing a two or three piece suit for the men they could wear slacks and a blazer or sports coat with sports shirt or turtle neck. Pants and shirt were expected to be ironed and clean. For ladies they could switch to a skirt and blouse or other clean and appealing clothes as opposed to a more formal pant suit or dress. Somehow people continued down the slippery slope all the way to jeans and a t-shirt. Have you noticed how most corporations abandoned “Casual Friday” now?
Remember first impressions mean everything. We at the Universal College of Reflexology require students to follow dress code – white lab jacket, dark pants or skirt and clean white shirt or blouse. This gives an immediate professional image.
Come-on Reflexologists and other health care professionals wear appropriate attire. It truly makes a difference.
