Gender-Neutral Haircuts in Philadelphia — Cut for You, Not for a Category

I cut hair for the person in my chair, not for a gendered menu. A gender-neutral haircut at André Richard Salon means your cut — and your price — comes from your hair: its length, texture, and the shape you're after. Never from a box marked "men's" or "women's."

Whatever you bring me — long hair you want to keep, a fade, a grown-out cut you're reshaping, or a first step toward a look that finally feels like you — I work with what your hair actually does and what suits your face. It's an approach in step with the gender-neutral pricing movement led by salons like Logan Parlor, and it's how I've always believed a chair should work: priced by the service, open to everyone.

You should feel comfortable long before the scissors come out. Tell me what you want in person, by phone, or by email, and we'll talk it through first — no assumptions. My chair is a welcoming space for every gender identity and expression.

A few weeks back, the team and I collaborated with some amazing Philadelphia area retailers and the Philly Inquirer for a fall fashion spread.

(You may have seen it.) It was an amazing day filled with fashion, art, and style — and we were honored (and thrilled) to be included among the styling team! ARS Stylist, Erin Gallagher styled the hair for the shoot and I worked on the makeup.

Last night, the who's who of the Philadelphia fashion and retail scene — as well as Erin, Rachid, and I — came out for a special "Fall Fashion Event" at the Inquirer building in downtown Philadelphia. It was a panel discussion lead by famed Philly.com and Philadelphia Inquirer fashion journalist, Elizabeth Wellington.

Along with me, the pannel was composed of Ellen Shepp (from Joan Shepp) and Ann Gitter (Owner of Knit Wit) representatives from Theory and Alica DiMichele. 

Each of the designers styled the model — Malika Miller — to show a look that best represented their brand's signature style: Ann Gitter worked the theme of the shoot (monochromatic styling) along side the recurring texture trend. Ellen Shepp showed the crowd how to do the athleisure trend right before offering a word of advice. "Play with your look and try different things" she advised the crowd, "And, if at the end [of the getting ready process] you don't feel good leaving your house... don't."

Known for their mastery of minimalism Theory showed off a look combining texture and monochromatic colors while the Alica DiMichele team showed off the art of sexy.

In the world of makeup... It's all about berry colors on the lips this season; warm, cool, and everything in between. I recommend layering up; you can't go wrong with an ombréed lip and don't be afraid to go bold — deep reds are in!

Just as the name suggests - it's ombre, but softer (or more subtle).

Lots of celebrities have ditched the obvious ombre, and have opted for a grown out summer color, a subtle graduation from roots to ends, a change that is so small but it still makes a big difference.

The color gradually fades from top to bottom, much like a little kid's long hair gets those gorgeous, naturally lighter ends in the summer. It's a look that seems more refined and extremely easy to keep up with.
