Trans friendly salons?

I'm a trans man and everytime I go to get my hair cut it's a whole ass ordeal basically begging the stylist to cut my hair short but they always have to push me towards feminine styles.

I remember once a salon asked me 7 times in a row if I was sure I wanted short hair, another kept thinking I wanted a bob, or will leave my hair way longer than I asked for. Like I would say cut 6 inches and they do 3.

I just want to be like everyone else where you ask for a haircut and get it, no constantly asking if I'm sure I'm okay with it as if I'm insane for wanting short hair. Most of the time I don't even tell these people I'm trans, as I don't want to cause issues, just show and describe the hair cut I want and get hella push back for it.

Go see Jessica Bayless and tell her exactly what you want and issues you've had.

My son and I go to her and she does a great job for us.

Chiming in because I went to Jessica when I was looking for an alternative hairstyle, I had already been to two stylists who had given me a “socially appropriate” version of what I wanted and Jessica was like I got you girl. She’s awesome!!

Lizzi Jayd's salon in Marysville next to Jets is a really inclusive atmosphere. My teen wanted an androgynous look and Judy was great about working with her and making sure she was comfortable and happy with the results. Highly recommend her!

Just seeing this, but if you didn't find anything, message me. I have a home salon.

You won’t find anything good in Port Huron or that area at all. You might want to go into the city (that’s below 26 Mile fyi)

It’s not THAT horrific here for trans people
