Pope Francis recently urged hairdressers, hairstylists and beauticians not to indulge in gossip during work according to the AFP.<\/p>\n

During an audience in the Vatican he encouraged the invited group to avoid \u201cgiving in to the temptation of chatter that easily creeps into your work environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPractice your profession in a Christian style, treating customers with kindness and courtesy, and always offering them a good word and encouragement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis also told the cosmetologists that they should be guided by their patron saint, Peruvian Martin de Porres.<\/p>\n

After spending just two years in primary school, Martin was placed with a barber\/surgeon where he ultimately learned to cut hair and the medical arts, according to Catholic.org.<\/p>\n

He is recognized as the patron saint of barbers and as a barber-surgeon in Lima, covered everything from haircuts to amputations and bloodletting.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of you, in your professional work, can always act with righteousness, thus making a positive contribution to the common good of society,\u201d Francis said.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Pope Francis opened a barber shop and washrooms for the homeless in Saint Peter\u2019s Square.<\/p>\n

Haircuts are available on Monday, when Rome\u2019s other barber shops are all closed, with professional hairdressers volunteering and bringing along students from local beauty schools and sisters from religious orders, the Independent reported.<\/p>\n
