Parlor Salon

Stylists! Looking for a new salon home? 👀

With so much going on in the world, sometimes a shift is needed to feel more in control of ourselves, what we carry, and how we navigate next steps in this unprecedented climate.

Parlor currently has openings for both customized commission hours or booth rental options. For people who want to either be part of a team or work more independently; both among a crew of forward-thinking and collaborative individuals that service all textures and all people since 2014.

We don’t really have many boxes here you need to fit into, but you must be open to learning about and supporting ALL hair textures 🙂‍↕️

DM us or Mahri Kneebone Jones for inquiries or more details ✨

While Parlor may have relocated earlier this year, our community foundations began in Richmond’s Jackson Ward and Art’s District neighborhoods. Friday was bittersweet as we spent our evening at Art 180’s final First Friday and art installation. A space that has been priceless for many because spaces like Art 180 rare. While we share the city’s heartbreak of losing such a pivotal piece of our community, it was heartening to see the outpouring of love given to the space and the wonderful art displayed. The minds, stories, and creations that came out of those walls has been from the perspective of some of our city’s most underserved yet brilliant artists. We will not forget.🧡

To ART 180 : Thank you for 27 years of allowing voices to be heard, art to be seen, and teaching that there is no one way to express yourself.

✨IT’S TIME✨⁣ It is that wondrous time of year when we all get to celebrate another year of !⁣

Unpopular opinion: curls aren’t a fad 🤷‍♀️ Over here, “the curl bubble” never popped; it just keeps getting bigger, more resilient, and floating along with us. Because curls, coils, and kinky hair existed before 2020.

Before we opened our doors in 2014, education of ALL textures was built into Parlor’s foundation. It was (and continues to be) essential that all textures, genders, age, races, religions can come in and feel welcomed, seen, and safe to get their hair done the way THEY want. It’s never been about following one method; it’s about how getting as much education as possible and incorporating it all to make a well-rounded stylist with a versatile clientele, who you can teach and encourage to wear their hair they way they want to see it.

Because the only one right way to do a hair is the way that makes you and your client the happiest 💛🌻

With every Spring comes the warmth and sunshine to shake everyone out of their winter blues - Lucky us: we have a light like Kasey, who brings warmth and sunshine year ‘round 🤗☀️ Everyone, please join us in celebrating another year of the April Aries angel that is .hairs!⁣ 🥳
