Mullet Love and Gender Affirming Resource Fair

✂ Posted on February 6, 2025 by chantal

We’ve got some mullet love this February and Recap of the 1st Annual Gender Affirming Resource Fair. It was such an honor to be a apart of the fair. Kristin and I met so many amazing people and vendors that we will be sharing below. We took a stand over a decade ago to not price our services on gender. It was a small step that has brought us some of the most amazing clients. A small step that has us taking larger steps to insure safe inclusive spaces especially for our trans, non binary and gender non conforming people. In the upcoming months we’ll be working on a tab for this site that will have resources not just for hair but other small businesses and orgs that offer inclusive safe spaces and resources. We would love this to be a resource for those that may have a harder time finding these places and resources in regions of the US that maybe lacking including national hotlines, locals LGBTQ orgs and small businesses. I would love your help in doing this. Please email tomahawksalon@gmail.com put in the subject line safe spaces and share small businesses, hair studios, orgs and centers throughout the US and territories.

New Year, New Hair Hello 2025!

✂ Posted on January 7, 2025 by chantal

Wow I can’t believe it’s 2025 and this April will be 15 years that we have had our doors open in Bushwick! I have loved seeing our studio expand and evolve, the amazing people that come through our door and the pure artistry of hair. This post we are going to look at one epic rainbow blocked hair. This is the type of color that literally brings a smile to your face. Keep shining bright and we wish you all a happy and healthy 2025! Tomahawk is BiPOC queer owned private studio. A private setting to collaborate and explore. Gender free pricing, gender euphoria vibes! Look out for Kristin and I at the 1st Annual Gender-Affirming Resource Fair Wednesday January 15th at LaGuardia Community College Atruim 3-7pm. We’ll be there talking gender affirming hair! Info below but first let’s get vivid…

Cut and color was meticulously done by Kristin Jackson. Kristin custom mixed Pulp Riot colors for this vibrant confection! Pulp Riot is great since it is fairly transfer proof however you still want to wash minimally, color safe products, cool/cold water rinse and of course heat protectant if using hot tools. Having this many colors is a blast but does require the above upkeep to keep the strands looking bomb. Text us to consult 646-399-6873 we’ll do our best to guide you to your dream hair!

As always thanks for peeping our page make sure to follow us on instagram for all the glow ups @tomahawksalon

We hope to see some familiar faces at the Gender-Affirming Resource Fair Wednesday January 15th below is the info and Instagram @lgbtnetwork Let’s Transcend!

Transcend LGBTQ+ Gender Affirming Hair

✂ Posted on November 13, 2024 by chantal

These last few weeks has been a whirlwind of emotions anger, sadness and exhaustion. There is little in my control but one thing. One thing that I can provide, to some it’s immeasurable and that is a safe inclusive space. A space where we can come together as community, support each other, learn from each other and lean on each other. We are proud to be partnering with LGBT Network in Queens. Join us Thursday December 5th 6:30-8pm at The Queens LGBT Center 35-11 35th Ave, Astoria, NY. Kristin, Donna and I will be talking about gender affirming hair and finding inclusive spaces. We have had the privilege to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community since the day we opened in 2010. We have been vocal about services not being based on gender. It has made my heart sing year after year to see people find us coming not only from our community but neighboring states and even overseas. To see people leave our space with a glow because they felt heard, seen and closer to themselves that is GENDER EUPHORIA. In all honesty and has been one of the biggest factors in keeping these doors open. This safe space is more than four walls, it’s more than Kristin, Donna and Maria and I. We can promise you, we will continue to be here for you and our community beyond these 4 walls. In the upcoming weeks we will start a new tab for this site that will be LGBTQ+ based information not only for this community but global. Here we will have links for safe inclusive spaces and organizations. We will also go over terminology for gender affirming hair especially in barbering. Ways to navigate finding inclusive spaces because let’s be honest not all of us marginalized people are inclusive. To better help community please email us and share how you found us, other inclusive salon, spaces, community centers especially in red states and conservative countries tomahawksalon@gmail.com

Here are few links and we will continue to expand these

Bi Pride Hair!

✂ Posted on June 20, 2023 by chantal

Bi Pride flag hair in the works! Kristin Jackson uses Pulp Riot hair color to achieve the bi pride flag colors of pink, purple and blue.

Kristin, Donna and I want to take a moment to say Happy Pride to our queer community and allies. It is a great privilege to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. HAPPY PRIDE never let anyone dampen your shine there is something magical and powerful in queer joy.

Tomahawk is BIPOC and queer owned space. We are located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn in a private, sun filled space. We love being a part of our clients exploration of how they express themselves in this world. Fo many of our trans and non binary clients cut and styling is one of the first gender affirming steps. We offer a safe space to explore without judgement, we are here to be a part of your journey every step of the way. We have been open since 2010 and made the decision years ago to not price on gender but length and style of hair. Moving forward I will personally be making content about gender affirming hair. I’ll be posting here on the blog and our Instagram tomahawksalon. This content will be centered around the process of hair and the impact cut and style can have on ones identity. This information will be especially for those out of state that may have difficulty knowing what to look and ask for when walking into a salon or barber shop. Things like hashtags and how to find queer spaces and stylists. Style verbage especially around short hair like fade, hardline, undercut, squared vs natural neckline, etc.. There is so much to explore and talk about with hair, beauty and steps that can be taken to affirm gender especially for those in states where this maybe daunting. This is something I can do for the community that has welcomed me and accepted an indigenous, mixed bisexual + that believes this world is not black and white and is beautiful in its fluidity.

As always thanks for peeping our page. Consults, appointments and questions shoot us a text 646-399-6873. Happy Pride everyone!
