Cut, color, and a skin cancer screening? A new study published Monday finds that hairstylists could be an untapped resource when it comes to spotting melanomas on their clients' scalp and neck.

The study, published in the journal Archives of Dermatology, finds that many hairstylists already check their clients' scalp, neck, and face for signs of skin cancer, with more than half recommending that a client seek a doctor regarding a suspicious mole. While the stylists lack proper health training, the researchers suggest that this could change, paving the way for possible early detection of deadly cancer.
