We recently had a realization at Poza that changed everything. Over the years, an increasing number of transgender clients have trusted us with their hair journeys. It wasn’t something we set out to market—it just happened. But we started to notice a pattern.
So we asked them: “Why do you choose Poza Salon?” Their answers stunned us.
Almost every person said the same thing: “It’s nearly impossible to find a salon or stylist in Charlotte who will even work with me—let alone make me feel safe and respected.”
That broke our hearts. And it lit a fire in us. At a time when the LGBTQ+ community—especially trans and non-binary individuals—are feeling vulnerable, we want to say this as loudly and clearly as possible:
Poza Salon is—and will always be—a safe, affirming, and inclusive space.
The Struggle to Find a Trans-Friendly Hair Salon in Charlotte
For many transgender and gender-diverse individuals, hair isn’t just about style. It’s about identity, affirmation, and freedom.
But too often, salons haven’t felt safe. We’ve heard heartbreaking stories from our trans clients about:
- Being misgendered during appointments.
- Stylists refusing to service once they realize a client is trans.
- Feeling judged or uncomfortable simply sitting in a stylist’s chair.
This is unacceptable.
At Poza Salon, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and celebrated—especially in spaces deeply tied to self-expression.
