We believe that Salons are community spaces
and hairdressers are vital caregivers in their respective communities.
Salon recognizes the significance hairstylists have as the common connector in the diverse web of the clients they see, and through our core values of CARE, STUDY, and PRACTICE, we cultivate real, in-person discussions, learning, and collaborations around hair.
