Textured Hair Care
The care you and your hair deserve
Your hair deserves care from people who understand your needs—and you deserve access to skilled hair care that celebrates and supports you.
In Vermont, accessing stylists with experience caring for textured hair can be difficult, especially outside of larger population centers. The Root works to help close that gap through the BIPOC Hair Shop, which connects BIPOC folks with textured hair to skilled local stylists, and our BIPOC Hair Clinics, which offer free professional hair services for BIPOC folks with textured hair at special clinic events.
BIPOC Hair Shop
Connect with a stylist who specializes in textured hair!
The BIPOC Hair Shop helps connect BIPOC folks with textured hair to local stylists who specialize in textured hair.
Participating stylists provide services in a variety of settings, including salons, home studios, clients’ homes, and at The Root. The Root is available to participating stylists and their clients on the last Saturday of each month. Browse our current stylist list to learn more about participating stylists and connect with them directly about services, availability, and pricing.
Contact BTN@therootsjc.org if you have questions or would like more information!
The BIPOC Hair Shop is not a free service. Each stylist sets their own prices and handles scheduling and payment directly with clients. The Root does not set prices or participate in transactions between clients and stylists.
BIPOC Hair Clinics
Free hair care at special clinic events!
The Root’s BIPOC Hair Clinics provide opportunities for BIPOC folks with textured hair to access free professional hair care services in a joyful BIPOC centering space that celebrates our identities and beauty!
Clinics take place on specific dates and may be designed around a particular community need or group, such as our annual Back to School BIPOC Hair Clinic that centers youth.
Participating stylists, appointment lengths, and available hairstyles may vary from clinic to clinic.
When a new clinic is scheduled, appointment booking information will be posted to this page, our community calendar, facebook and Instagram!
