Meet owner Hind Haidar
In the vibrant world of hairdressing, Hind Haidar stands out as a beacon of innovation and compassion. With beginnings traced back to the late 1990s in Hollywood, California, and later in the bustling streets of NYC, Hind's journey in the beauty industry has been nothing short of extraordinary. From working in celebrity salons to freelance editorial hairstyling, she honed her skills in precision haircutting, razor cutting, natural-looking color, gray transitions, and custom hair extensions.
However, Hind's vision extended beyond simply mastering her craft. She harbored a deep desire to revolutionize the beauty industry, to create something refreshingly different from her experiences thus far. Thus, The Cutting Room was born—a sanctuary where innovation meets sustainability, and inclusivity reigns supreme.
At the heart of The Cutting Room lies Hind's unwavering commitment to sustainability. Recognizing the urgent need to reduce environmental impact, she meticulously crafted a low-toxin environment within her salon. This dedication not only safeguards the well-being of her clients but also underscores her profound respect for the planet we call home.
Yet, Hind's pursuit of transformation didn't end with environmental consciousness. She recognized the toxic undercurrents permeating the beauty industry—gendered pricing, retail benchmarks, overbooking, and reliance on tips for income. Determined to dismantle these harmful norms, she envisioned a space where stylists could flourish in their craft while maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and where clients could bask in a truly customized and affirming experience.
In Hind Haidar's hands, The Cutting Room transcends the conventional salon experience. It emerges as a sanctuary where sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation converge, creating an oasis of beauty and empowerment for all who enter its doors. Join us on this transformative journey, where every haircut is not just a style but a statement—a testament to the boundless vision of one remarkable woman.
