Tahlia Isaac

Project:herBEAUTY is a social enterprise founded by Tahlia Isaac, inspired by her own lived experience of incarceration and seeing firsthand how women struggle to find employment after release and continued training in hairdressing after release.

The social enterprise is a beauty salon designed to provide continuity of employment and training for First Nations women who have been incarcerated, from custody to the community. The salon will employ and empower women to reintegrate into their communities and rebuild their economic stability after release, contributing to a reduction in recidivism.

Project:herBEAUTY is committed to embracing transformative and restorative justice practices within the salon by repairing relationships, breaking down stigma and stereotypes, and strengthening community bonds through connection and yarns.
