The collective

Four stylists, four chairs

Each of us books our own chair and sets our own prices and days. Pick a stylist, or send the form and we'll choose with you.

  • Florine Gooden, in a cream linen smock and a rust-colored headwrap, with a hand on the back of her styling chair

    Florine Gooden

    Owner and senior stylist

    • Cosmetologist license · TN License no. 000000

    Florine opened the collective and keeps the front desk running. She works on coily, curly and wavy hair: twists, braids, silk presses and color on textured hair. Booking her for color or braids starts with a consultation.

  • Consuela Melton, with a sleek bob and a navy shirt, holding a comb beside a row of styling chairs

    Senior stylist

    • Cosmetologist license · TN License no. 000000

    Consuela cuts bobs, layers and blunt lines, and presses and blow-dries hair smooth. If you want a shape that grows out well, she starts by looking at how your hair falls on its own.

  • Mihee Arai, with silver hair and a rust-colored apron, standing with her arms folded in a brick-walled salon

    Mihee Arai

    Colorist

    • Cosmetologist license · TN License no. 000000

    Mihee plans color in visits: balayage, gray blending, all-over color and gloss. She asks what has been on your hair before she mixes anything, and she plans a cut with your color when you want one.

  • Giovanny Zubia, in a dark tee, smiling beside his chair in a bright room

    Giovanny Zubia

    Stylist

    • Cosmetologist license · TN License no. 000000

    Giovanny does short cuts, tapers and clipper work, and dry cuts on curls. He is the newest chair in the room and has openings for new clients. He is glad to say when another stylist suits your hair better.
