How much do we as <3 our Carbondale and So. ILL Community?

Hairstylists have a unique gift that can take them anywhere. Why not go where you can bring an extra sprinkle of confidence?

Haircuts boost confidence—no matter your age or stage in life. Feeling like your most authentic self starts with how you see yourself, and we believe as hairstylists we can make that confidence accessible to everyone. As part of our commitment to giving back, we host 4-6 free haircut events each year, serving 15-45 people per event.

By creating judgment-free, affirming salon experiences, we ensure LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent folks, and those in need have access to high-quality haircuts that reflect their identity. Confidence starts with care, and we’re here to give back.

We love to be a part of events: either creating or attending.

This collection of images beautifully captures the spirit of community, creativity, and connection that defines our salon and extended network. From Hues & Brews, a glamorous night celebrating artistry and friendship, where we had the honor of creating hair for the event’s models. Or it’s to attending the Rainbow Café Gala, every moment showcases our passion for supporting and uplifting others. We also had the opportunity to engage with young professionals at Apogee Leadership in Marion through Jackson CEO, inspiring future leaders in business and creativity. Whether it’s our team bonding over laughter and style, supporting local talent and clients, or participating in community initiatives, these snapshots reflect our mission—creating confidence without judgment. We believe that beauty is about more than just appearance—it’s about fostering relationships, lifting others up, and embracing authenticity. 💜✨

Education, students and the future
