i CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU!

Listen, we both know that it’s scary to find a new barber and/or stylist, so let me ease your nerves. I am an introvert and empath — which means that I have great listening skills and the ability to communicate well.

I will take my time navigating your first visit and all future appointments to ensure you get exactly what you need at each visit without keeping you in the chair longer than you need to be.

By committing to a hairstylist that has built their business around gender affirming haircuts and colors, you’ll be in the hands of someone who has the solutions to all of the things holding you back from loving your hair.

“Jackie was so incredibly kind and attentive. They often paused to ask how I was doing and if I liked the way the cut was going — needless to say, I left feeling so seen/heard!”

Walking into a new salon can feel a little nerve-wracking — I totally get it. That’s why I’ve created a cozy, two-chair suite where you can truly relax. No big crowds, no judgment — just a warm welcoming space where you can be yourself and enjoy a one-on-one experience designed just for you.

We’ll start with a thorough consultation to make sure you feel 100% confident about your service. Then, sit back and enjoy some complimentary drinks and snacks while we play your favorite music. This is your time to unwind and feel pampered.

Before you leave, we’ll go over a game plan for keeping your hair looking and feeling amazing between visits — because great hair shouldn’t just happen in the salon! And once you’re obsessed with your final look, I’ll get you set up for your next appointment so everything is effortless.

I can’t wait to meet you!
