We focus on personalized hair color & cuts, so you have a look that reflects your  style and is complementary to your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for subtle refresh or a full transformation, you are in the best hands. From the moment you arrive we want you to feel at ease - no rush, no pressure, just good hair in a space made to feel like a tranquil retreat.
We stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, support trans rights, and believe in bodily autonomy and human dignity for all people. We support immigrant justice and oppose systems that harm marginalized communities. We stand for liberation, including a free Palestine.
This is a safe space. Respect is not optional.
At First Crush, everyone belongs. We prioritize a safe, inclusive environment and offer gender-neutral pricing so each guest is seen, respected, and cared for.
We can’t wait to hang out with you!
