This Website Helps Find Trans-Friendly Hair Salons in Michigan
If you are someone who is Trans, making sure you feel comfortable when visiting a place like a hair salon is really important. After all, that salon is helping you, hopefully, achieve a new style or look that will make you feel more like you, right? You have to know that you can trust them.
Yes, you can do a quick Google search or social media search for salons that may be trans-friendly in the area. But, what if the results aren't accurate?
That's why the website, Strands for Trans, was created.
I learned about this website thanks to, you guessed it, Tiktok. The video came from the account @theOGsmash who is a gender-affirming stylist in Michigan:
Specifically, they operate out of Ink & Dye, a tattoo shop/hair salon in Milan, Michigan.
