“I built WFLYH because I was sick of outdated pricing models, awkward tip math, and salon spaces that didn’t feel safe for everyone.

Hair is personal. It’s identity. It’s self-expression. And you shouldn’t have to decode a menu or brace yourself for weird vibes to get it done right.

So we created a gratuity-free, inclusive salon where the expectations are clear, the energy is good, and the work speaks for itself.

This place exists because I fucking love great hair. And I love building a space where people feel like themselves in and behind the chair.”
