Interview with Paige Behan

1. Could you introduce yourself and share what inspired you to pursue a career in beauty?

My name is Paige Behan. I am a medical aesthetician in Dublin working under the brand thanks.a.ml.esthetics. I work closely with the transgender community to provide gender-affirming treatments, like masculinising or feminising the face. My path was inspired by my own experience as a trans woman and the challenge of accessing affirming care.

2. How important is your choice of tunic and scrubs in your day-to-day work?

Scrubs give comfort and clarity in a clinical setting, which builds trust between clinician and client. Happythreads has been consistent on quality and functionality, which matters when you are on your feet and need kit that works as hard as you do.

3. In what ways does the right salon attire influence clients’ perception of professionalism and brand?

Right attire signals pride in your craft and brand. Clients are more confident in your recommendations when your presentation is polished and professional from the first hello.

4. What feedback have you received about your Happythreads uniforms?

Clients love them. The colours I wear and the flattering fit get frequent compliments. In aesthetics, that matters. Looking professional while feeling comfortable is the balance I need.

5. If you could design your ideal tunic or scrubs, what features would it include?

Fit comes first. Some brands do not fit my body the way I want. With Happythreads I feel gender euphoria because every set fits the way I like and stays comfortable through the day.

“Uniforms should feel like you. When the fit and fabric work, you forget you are wearing them and focus fully on your clients.”
– Paige Behan
