Why we use gender-neutral pricing

At SalonTrose, we believe beauty has no gender. Since opening our doors in 2014, we’ve made it our mission to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, celebrated, and respected — from the services we provide to the language we use. One of the ways we live that mission every day is through gender-neutral pricing.

It’s About Fairness, Not Tradition

Traditional salon pricing often separates services into “men’s” and “women’s” categories — a system that doesn’t reflect the time, technique, or products required for each appointment.
In reality, a short haircut can suit anyone, and a long balayage can, too. Pricing based on gender assumes a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t match modern hairdressing or today’s diverse clients.

At SalonTrose, we’ve replaced that outdated model with one that’s based on the service itself — the time, skill, and artistry it takes to create your look — not on who you are or how you identify.

Your Hair, Your Identity

We serve a wonderfully diverse community here in Montrose — from creative professionals and parents to artists and students, representing every identity and expression. Our gender-neutral pricing ensures that everyone walks into our space knowing they’ll be treated equally, charged fairly, and celebrated authentically.

You’ll notice our menu lists services like:

• Standard Cut

• Clipper/Barber Cut

• Transformative Cut

• Root Touch-Up

• Creative/Vivid Color

This keeps our focus where it belongs — on your hair goals and how much time and product they require — not on outdated gender labels.

Empowering Our Stylists, Too

Gender-neutral pricing isn’t just about fairness for clients — it also empowers our stylists. It gives them the freedom to price their work accurately and consistently, based on technique and time. This helps ensure they’re compensated fairly for the care and craftsmanship they bring to every appointment.

A Small Change with Big Impact

Language matters. Policies matter. When we say “A Salon for All,” we mean it — in the chairs, at the front desk, and in the systems behind the scenes.
By removing gender from our pricing, we’re reinforcing that everyone belongs here.

Our goal is simple: for every guest to walk out not just with incredible hair, but with the feeling that they were seen, respected, and valued for exactly who they are.

Come As You Are

Whether you’re booking a haircut, color transformation, extensions, or spray tan, you can count on transparent, gender-neutral pricing — and a team that genuinely celebrates individuality.
