At Locke Hair in St. Louis, MO, our philosophy is simple yet profound: individuality is celebrated here. We believe that hair services should be a reflection of your unique identity, and we’ve taken important steps to ensure everyone feels welcome, comfortable, and affirmed.
A Departure from Tradition:
Gone are the days of “men’s cuts” and “women’s cuts” on our service menu. Instead, our pricing model is based on the time you spend with us. We proudly set aside gender stereotypes and empower our clients to define their style according to their own vision, free from predefined notions.
A Safe Space Where Pronouns Matter:
At Locke Hair, we value every aspect of your identity. We start by asking for your pronouns on our intake form. We understand that language plays a crucial role in acknowledging your authentic self, and we are committed to using the correct pronouns throughout your visit.
Strands for Trans and the Power of Acceptance:
Locke Hair is more than just a salon; it’s a safe haven where everyone can express their true selves. We are proud to be part of the Strands For Trans movement, which stands for inclusivity, acceptance, and love. Our salon is a place where everyone, regardless of gender identity or orientation, can feel at ease.
Breaking Down Gender Barriers:
Historically, the world of hair has been compartmentalized and gendered, with women’s salons and men’s barbershops. For transgender individuals, this division has often resulted in discomfort, anxiety, and exclusion.
Strands For Trans: For a More Accepting Future:
We are committed to a future of acceptance, equality, and unity. Strands For Trans is a movement that unites individuals of all orientations and identities, aiming to transform barbershops and hair salons into safe spaces for everyone.
A New Beginning:
At Locke Hair, we stand by the belief that your hair journey is a personal one, deserving respect and understanding. Our salon is a sanctuary for those who refuse to be limited by preconceived ideas of gender and style.
Close Your Eyes, Imagine Your Look, Open Your Heart:
In the end, it’s not about hair; it’s about self-acceptance and the freedom to be yourself. Locke Hair invites you to leave the labels at the door and embark on a journey of self-discovery, expression, and acceptance. Your story is unique, and it deserves to be told in your own way, on your terms.
Whether you’re transgender or cisgender, gay or straight, our doors are wide open for you. Locke Hair is more than a salon; it’s a place where self-expression knows no boundaries. Come and experience the warmth of our inclusive community and embrace a future where acceptance is the norm.
