Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Sex trafficking victims often have touchpoints with salons for waxing, styling, and other body modification services required by traffickers. Recently, some states have administered laws requiring salon professionals to receive intimate partner violence (IPV)-related training, with even fewer states mandating training on identifying sex trafficking. This study aimed to understand how salon professionals have witnessed evidence of violence, including IPV and sex trafficking, in the workplace and to explore the differences in their approach to each type of victim.
METHODS: In-depth interviews were conducted with salon professionals (N = 10) and law enforcement professionals/policymakers (N = 5). Content and thematic analysis techniques were used.
RESULTS: Salon professionals typically identified potential violence through signs such as bruises, odd behavior, and client disclosures, prompting them to engage in cautious conversations. Yet, few were trained to identify and intervene. Often, they responded to suspected violence by talking with the client, sharing concerns with salon leadership, directly intervening on the client\'s behalf, or contacting the police. Law enforcement and salon professionals had suggestions about improving salon professionals\' recognition of and response to violence, including training on victim-focused resources, creating a safe environment, and building relationships with law enforcement. They also suggested strengthening community partnerships to increase resource advocacy and reporting.
CONCLUSIONS: One-on-one salon services may provide a unique opportunity to intervene and identify victims of violence, especially when empowered through additional training and collaborative partnerships with community-oriented policing initiates. Implementing training and community-based initiatives could aid salon professionals in gaining greater confidence in knowing what to do when serving a client who is a victim of IPV or sex trafficking.

摘要：
背景：性交易受害者经常与沙龙打蜡接触，造型,以及贩运者所需的其他身体改造服务。最近,一些州实施了法律，要求沙龙专业人员接受亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)相关培训，更少的州要求进行识别性交易的培训。这项研究旨在了解沙龙专业人员如何目睹暴力的证据，包括IPV和性交易,在工作场所，并探讨他们对待每种类型受害者的方法的差异。
方法：对沙龙专业人员（N=10）和执法专业人员/政策制定者（N=5）进行了深入访谈。使用内容和主题分析技术。
结果：沙龙专业人员通常通过瘀伤等迹象来识别潜在的暴力行为，奇怪的行为，和客户披露，促使他们进行谨慎的对话。然而，很少有人接受过识别和干预的培训。通常,他们通过与客户交谈来回应可疑的暴力，与沙龙领导分享关切，直接代表客户进行干预，或者联系警察.执法和沙龙专业人员提出了有关改善沙龙专业人员对暴力的认识和应对措施的建议，包括以受害者为中心的资源培训，创造一个安全的环境，与执法部门建立关系。他们还建议加强社区伙伴关系，以增加资源宣传和报告。
结论：一对一的沙龙服务可能为干预和识别暴力受害者提供独特的机会，特别是当通过额外的培训和与面向社区的警务启动的合作伙伴关系获得授权时。实施培训和基于社区的举措可以帮助沙龙专业人员获得更大的信心，知道在为IPV或性贩运的受害者提供服务时应该做些什么。
