A unique and diverse hair salon in Nashville, Tennessee, promotes inclusion in artsy side of the city.
A judgment-free zone, a place where everyone feels welcomed — that's the goal for salon owner Chelsea Joffray, owner of The Hideout Salon and Lounge in the heart of East Nashville, Tennessee."I think that should be the default with most spaces. You know, most spaces should just be inclusive," Joffray said."For most of my career, I've had genderless pricing. So rather than, like, men's haircuts, women's haircuts, it's always been short cuts gone by length.
Wanting to make a difference, she opened her own salon in 2018. Since then, the salon has held multiple community events like art shows and pop-up markets.In the salon’s first ever Pride pop-up market in celebration of Pride Month, Tristain Heitzke, a client at the salon, said having a safe place to go to where they can be themselves makes all the difference.
"So definitely knowing that there’s a place that I can come to from my house, door to door, where I know that I’m not going to be accosted in some way is very heartwarming. And having a community is so important," Heitzke said.
"We just really want to be clear, like you are welcome, and there's no doubt about it," Joffray said. Being involved in the community is important to Joffray. The salon features artwork from local artists at the salon and works with non-profits throughout the year. It also promotes small businesses.
