How We Salon Differently
“At the Cutting Room, we blend creativity, sustainability, and inclusivity to offer a unique and exceptional salon experience. We can't wait to welcome you and transform your hair while making you feel right at home.”
-Hind Haidar (owner)
Transparent Gratuity Free Pricing:
Say goodbye to surprises at the checkout counter! We believe in straightforward, hourly gratuity-free pricing. You'll always know the cost of your appointment before you walk through our doors. Each of our talented stylists sets their own hourly rate ensuring our stylists earn a living wage and can focus on one client at a time. Whatever your hair needs that can be accomplished in the scheduled time (example treatments, toners, extra product) is included in the price of your service. Hourly booking also ensures your stylist is focused on you and not juggling multiple clients at a time.
Retail Free:
We understand the evolving world and your desire to experience your hair post-treatment before deciding to purchase products. We don’t house retail, but offer many vetted products through affiliate links that get delivered to your doorstep. No more trips to the salon to purchase products between visits!
Wellness and Environmental Focus:
We put your health and the planet first.
Low-Toxicity Design: minimizing toxic materials was forefront in our design plans.
Advanced Ventilation: Upgraded ventilation systems ensure clean and healthy air.
Clean Hair Color Products: Our haircolor products are void of harmful elements like PPD, resorcinol, Parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances.
Ammonia-Free and Fragrance-Free Options: We offer hair color options without ammonia or added fragrances.
Safe Styling and Backbar Products: Our styling and backbar products are free of endocrine disruptors, synthetic fragrances, silicones, and aerosols.
Eco-Conscious Practices: We are fully committed to eco-conscious practices.
Plastic-Neutral Product Lines: Our product lines are carefully chosen to be plastic-neutral or plastic free.
Extensive Recycling: We recycle 95% of salon waste through Saloncycle, including chemical waste, PPE, foils, and even hair clippings.
Sustainable Salon Design: Our salon features sustainable building materials, energy-efficient lighting, and water-conserving shampoo bowls, showcasing our dedication to environmental preservation.
Paperless Operations: We've gone paperless, using advanced software for appointments, client records, marketing, and payments.
Inclusive Space: Inclusivity is a Core Value at The Cutting Room
From conception through construction, every effort has been made to create a space that all humans would feel safe and valued and respected. Every body type was considered when choosing chairs, smocks and capes and designing our floor plan. Our pricing structure is based on our time rather than gender or age or texture. We actively seek ways to grow and improve in this regard.
