It can be quite rare to find yourself in a place where you feel totally accepted. In this episode, producer Reva Goldberg takes us to a truly unique beauty salon: it’s the ultimate safe space for its customers, many of whom are in their 80s and 90s.

Featured in this episode are Dr. Pablo Sabucedo and Dr. Rebecca Allen.
