Head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, has cautioned hairdressers, hairstylists and beauticians to stop the act of gossiping while performing their duties.

He made the statement in a meeting he had with a group of hairstylists, beauticians and hairdressers at the head of the Roman Catholic Church.

Pope Francis advised the beauty industry workers to desist from chattering and work according to their Christianity beliefs.
The pontiff told the gathering:

“Practice your profession in a Christian style, treating customers with kindness and courtesy, offering them a good word and encouragement”.
“And avoid succumbing to the temptation of chatter which is easily associated with your field of work.”
“Each of you, in your professional work, can always act with righteousness, thus making a positive contribution to the common good of society.”

During the meeting at the Vatican, the Pope advised the group of 230 pilgrims to follow their patron Saint Martino de Porres (1579-1639), canonised in 1966 by his predecessor Paul VI. St. Martino de Porres was canonised for his supposed miracles of levitation, being in two places at once, instant cures and communicating with animals.

Porres is also the patron saint of mixed-race people.

In 2015, the pontiff opened a hairdressing salon in the Vatican for the homeless people of Rome.

It is open on Mondays, when other barbers are closed, and is staffed by volunteers.

The salon service, paid for by donations and the sale of papal blessings, was the idea of the Pope’s chief alms-giver, Monsignor Konrad Krajewski.

He was moved to act after a homeless man turned down an invitation to dinner at the Vatican because he was embarrassed about his smell, Daily Mail reports.

At the opening in 2015 each ‘homeless pilgrim’ received a kit including a towel, change of underwear, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, razor and shaving cream.

The Pope should rather advise his fellow Bishops to stop raping young boys...

Thought it was only in Hafrica

Good advice

Lol

Even here in nigeria you will hear the latest gist from a hair dresser salon.
Esp unisex salon.

Gossiping is every human being culture at work.

I am a Catholic and I gossip at work, when am less busy and I know people will do the same for me too.

That's life, you cant take the gossip away from work environment, most especially in Nigeria work system, where gossiping about people is a way of easying off the stress of the morning hustle you did before getting bus to your office

Hair Dressers

Hairdressers and gossip

So true, especially hairdressers, argh those people can gossip ehn, the way they will describing anybody that passes through their shop will even surprise you and you'll be scared of leaving their shop when you're done because once you leave, na to table your matter

abeg tell them

Papa

Lagos based hairdressers association must hear this

those hairdresser no fit hear

Had a hairdresser girlfriend few years ago. She will come back and still want me to gossip with her about who's dating who and who dumped who in my street. I thank God for my brain; I can pretend listening to you while I'm thinking of how to make money.

I design great websites starting from 25k. Whatsapp or call 07085013051 or visit my site www.rankhigh.com.ng

If gossiping is removed from the hairdressers, I bet you it will be boring for the customer.

It is easy to caution the hairdressers against gossiping but you can't caution Bishops and even a Cardinal against gay rape of young boys and other paedophilic acts.

Catholicism needs someone to wield the big stick against these devils in cassock and not a sugar daddy loved for quenching fire for outsiders while his own home is being destroyed.

Very good advice.

Thought it was only in Nigeria or Africa ooo

Pope wants us to stop going to saloons abi?

Gossip is the spice of every hair salon and tailor shop.

Ah, this papal advice will fall on deaf ears o. Especially for Nigerian hairdressers. Gossiping in the line of duty is deeply engrained in their DNA.
