Veronica is the best barber i’ve ever had! My haircut always looks great and comes out consistent every time, which is very helpful because i often need to be on camera. Thank you!
Getting your haircut as a trans person can be a sticky situation at times, but when I walk into the Clybourn Floyd’s, I receive warm service that makes me feel at ease and comfortable in the space. I’m always promptly and pleasantly greeted. It’s also awesome to see multiple queer people working there <3 Happy Pride yall.
I’ve had Kai as my stylist the last few times I’ve gotten my haircut, and it’s been a great experience every time. Every appointment has started on time (or early in most cases!) Kai takes the time to understand what my goals are for the service, asks questions for clarity, and even makes personalized recommendations based on my grow pattern, texture, etc.
Also I want to stress that there are little things that can make all the difference in helping a trans person receive an affirming experience getting their haircut.
-Asking how short I want to go with the sides on my mullet
-Asking if I want my sideburns cleaned up or left alone. I cannot even express just how shocking it was to once have a stylist buzz them off without asking. I guess it would be like cutting off someone’s rat tail without asking, or giving them bangs they didn’t ask for lol.
-Cleaning up my neckline with the razor cut (SO affirming every time omg)
-Offering tailored product suggestions with hands-on instructions. That way I know how to upkeep the style after the service and feel as good as I did walking out of the salon as I do walking out of my house.
Yall are great. Keep on doing your thing, because you’re doing it right.
