  • Trends breaks the mold, creates inclusive hair space for all

    At Trends Barber Lounge, we take pride in being recognized by Spectrum News for our commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming space for all. As a BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and woman-owned barbershop, we are dedicated to providing gender-affirming haircuts and fostering a safe, affirming environment for everyone who walks through our doors. Our feature on Spectrum News highlighted our passion for breaking down barriers in the barbering industry and serving as a hub for self-expression and community. We’re more than just a barbershop—we’re a space where everyone can feel seen, valued, and empowered.

  • Hair discrimination: a roundtable discussion

    Trends Barber Lounge had the honor of hosting a powerful conversation with Spectrum News for Black History Month, where I, along with four other women, sat down to discuss the ongoing challenges of discrimination in and out of our industry. We spoke candidly about the lack of awareness surrounding the CROWN Act, a law designed to protect individuals from hair-based discrimination, and how its impact is still not widely known. Additionally, we highlighted how hair education remains segregated, contributing to a deeper divide in understanding and serving diverse hair types. It was a meaningful exchange, shedding light on issues that affect our community and pushing for change in the beauty industry.

SUPPORT THE VISION:

My vision for Trends is to make our services more accessible with the launch of a Mobile Barbershop. This will bring the same level of care to underserved areas, ensuring that individuals who lack access to supportive and affirming spaces can still receive the services they need.

CONSIDER DONATING

This is a unique opportunity to invest in a thriving, inclusive business that champions diversity, community empowerment, and creative expression.

Why This Work Matters Now:

Trends Barber Lounge offers more than haircuts; it creates a safe, affirming space for gender expression and supports the queer community through events and art-driven initiatives. Your support is a commitment to social equity and community-building.

The LGBTQ+ community faces a challenging time ahead. During his campaign, President-elect Trump made statements and proposed policies that threaten LGBTQ+ rights, such as appointing conservative Supreme Court justices and supporting religious freedom laws that could limit our protections. Many people in our community feel vulnerable and unsafe, and now, more than ever, they need places where they are welcomed, protected, and empowered. Trends Barber Lounge is that place, your support would allow me to bring it directly to them.

Together we can do this.

Thank you

About Kat SoPoetic

My name is Kat SoPoetic. I’m a multidisciplinary artist and master barber driven by a passion for challenging the status quo. I opened Trends in 2020 because of my own experience in barbershops.

It has always been bittersweet.

I love the culture!

Barbershops have always been a safe haven for so many, I love that so much! the community, the nastalgia, the vibe. its pretty cool to be a part of something so beautiful and to have a skill not many have. But there are many people who feel out of place there too, and sometimes, I was one of them.

As a woman in a male-dominated industry, my journey was different. I had to work harder to stand out. People didn’t want a “girl” cutting their hair, many times i was assumed to be a hairstylist instead of a barber and I often heard harmful conversations that made me uncomfortable.

I realized beauty salons have their own version of the same thing. I needed something just a little different.

Since opening Trends in 2020 i've been able to impact so many lives. Im eternally grateful for that.

Trends is for us.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING !
