The radical fringe exists

to create a new vision of what hair and beauty can be; embracing the immense role that hair and beauty can be for people in terms of exploring, expressing their identities, celebrating, and reveling in our bodies within a culture which teaches us only insecurity, competition and self hatred. The idea was born out of the nervousness and anxiety that we experienced as q***r and trans people having to work up the courage to go to commercialized hair and beauty places. It was born out of the hundred of awful haircuts accepted with a false smile, and later lamented in a distraught, dysphoric pile on the bathroom floor. It is a response to the cissexist assumptions about what a "men's" or "women's" haircut should be, from not understanding the technical babble spouted at us, from hairdressers working too quickly due to the incentive to make profit- and from simply not being able to afford most salons. As such, we operate on pay-as-you-can-basis, to be as open as possible for people of all economic backgrounds. In our work, you set the pace, as we regularly check in with you to see that you are getting the look that empowers you, and shows the world the way you want to be seen. We avoid technical language in describing procedures, and instead rely on open, friendly conversation with the client, taking the time for you to express the look you want, in whatever way works for you. We will NEVER tell you that what you want is wrong, but instead, will attempt to be the means to you realizing your vision. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT A COMMERCIAL HAIRDRESSERS; because of the way we work, we cannot guarantee that you will necessarily get your hair cut at the drop-in salon- itś first come, first serve, and sometimes it can take longer than others. To ensure the liklihood of getting a cut, come early, or contact us to book an apointment outside of salon hours! :)

To book an appointment outside of salon hours, message the FB, or email theradicalfringe [AT] hairdresser [DOT] net.

Hey all you cuties! sorry for not responding to messages or mails for so long! hangover from the summerbreak + a lot of sh*tty personal circumstances have lead to a slow restart...but starting this saturday the salon will be open for appointments once again!

Unfortunately we will only have 1 hairdresser, so this sturday is already fully booked :(

But please mail and message for the next saturday, or to set a home appointment at a time and day of your convenience:D

Heya all, we're really sorry, but unfortunately due to burnout, overwork, and the chaos that is life for us at the moments, neither Gallows, nor Eco is capable of doing the salon this saturday :/

But please do message the page, or email theradical [email protected] to set an appointment next saturday at the salon, or to arrange an out-of-salon home appointment at another time :)

love and apologies,

G+E

Hello lovely q***ries! Gallows is back from the UK now, but there is no salon tomorrow, as we will be hitting pride! Salon will be back on as regular next saturday 14:00-1700 xx

UNFORTUNATELY THERE WILL BE NO SALON FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS :/

This week is cancelled due to a programming clash with the building´s general meeting, and the week after, we will both be at the anarcho-folk festival at the ADM.

If you want a trim in the next two weeks, please message, or email!

sorry q***r cuties! :(

Unfortunately there will be no Salon this saturday, due to one of us being out of the country, and the other person being too busy with housing issues to cut hair this weekend.

The salon will be back on again on saturday 31st, but with only one hairdresser.

Sorry all!
