Stylists don’t just shape hair—they shape lives. Every appointment is an opportunity to affirm identity, restore dignity, and resist oppression.
If you’re a salon or barbershop looking to better support your stylists and be part of the movement, send us a DM to learn more about the resources at The Dresscode Project. Let’s help people look the way they feel ✂️🖤

Our mission has always been simple: to help people look the way they feel. No matter the location, circumstance, or administration. Our shears, hair dye, and razors are an act of queer rebellion.
This month in celebration of Pride, we’re launching a new series on the history of queer hair history to explore how people throughout the 20th century staged their own acts of hair rebellion.
Because hair has always been more than style. It’s identity, liberation, and #PRIDE 🌈🏳️🌈

What your salon stocks says something ✂️
The products on your shelves don’t just support your services. They support founders, artists, educators, and communities shaping the future of beauty.
As we head into Pride Month, we’re highlighting a few queer owned and inclusive brands helping push the industry toward something more creative, representative, and community driven.
From haircare and color to makeup and styling, these are brands expanding what beauty can look and feel like for more people.
And keep an eye out. We’ll be partnering with one of the brands on this list very soon for a special Pride Month collaboration 👀🌈

Pride Month isn’t something you prepare for overnight, and it shouldn’t end on June 30th.
As stylists, we have the ability to create spaces where people feel seen, affirmed, and safe in their identity all year long. That starts long before someone sits in your chair.
With a month to go before Pride, here are a few ways to begin building a more inclusive salon environment that’s intentional and authentic.
Because it’s never just hair 🌈
#hairhasnogender #pridemonth #dresscodeproject
It’s never just hair.
It’s identity. It’s safety.
It’s the feeling of being seen.
As stylists, our job isn’t just to cut or color. It’s to listen closely, ask the right questions, and create space for clients to recognize themselves in the mirror.
Because for a lot of our clients, this isn’t a small step. It’s a leap towards alignment ✂️🌈

We celebrated Trans Day of Visibility by having another Gender Free Haircut Club event this past Sunday. Being an affirming space for the Trans community will always be a pillar of this business and it means the world to able to give back to our community. Thank you so much to each stylist and barber that gave their time and skills. Thank you to our vendors for adding to the fun. Big thank you to everyone that brought donations for @atxfreefridge . Building community is very important to us, and we feel incredibly fortunate to know so many amazing people that align with that goal.
If you haven’t already, give @thedresscodeproject a follow. Their work is the reason this event happens. To our fellow LGBTQ+ peeps, you’ll always have a safe place in our salon.
We host 2 of these events each year. Our next one will take place in October. If you’d like to be involved, send us a DM!

Trans people deserve to be seen, celebrated, and supported, not just today, but every day 🏳️⚧️
This Trans Day of Visibility, we’re revisiting and resharing a resource we created last year because the need for safe, affirming spaces hasn’t changed.
Visibility matters, but it isn’t enough on its own. Across the U.S., trans communities continue to face policies that directly impact their safety, autonomy, and future. This is about real people, real lives, and real protection.
The hair industry holds real power. As stylists, salon owners, and beauty professionals, we have the ability to create spaces where trans and nonbinary clients feel respected, affirmed, and safe.
Swipe through for ways you can show up today and every day.
Visibility is powerful. Action is what creates change.
Show up. Speak out. Support. 📣

Queer Stylist study guide: workplace edition ✏️
Finding the right salon is about more than location or clientele. The culture of a space shapes the experience for everyone who works there.
Things like service menus, leadership, and how clients are welcomed can say a lot about what that culture looks like.
If you are a stylist exploring new opportunities, these are a few signals that a salon is committed to creating affirming spaces for both clients and the people behind the chair.
Your workplace matters.
Bonus points if the salon is already a member of the Dresscode Project ✨ Member salons have committed to these standards and more. Visit our website to explore the full salon directory.

Lesson of the day 📓🌈
Affirming salon spaces are built through small details.
Things like inclusive intake forms, gender-neutral pricing, and consultations that center how someone wants to feel in their hair can make a huge difference in how safe a client feels in your chair.
Stylists have more power than they think to shape these spaces. Will you be a part of the change?
