Hairanoia - Syracuse (NY)

5 /5 Elena Selthun: Heather is amazing! Ive been getting short haircuts for the last several years but decided to try a longer shag cut, and Heather worked with me to figure out what would best fit my hair texture and length. I was nervous going to a new place as a nonbinary person who didnt want a super feminine cut, but I felt listened to and accepted here. Definitely coming back!

5 /5 AM: Michael was excellent. He is a kind and caring person who has been an expert at his work for a long time now. He sat down to ask me what I was looking for and actually listened to my needs (low maintenance, simple, etc). He was very comforting when washing my hair and then finished the cut (correcting issues from a previous cut) efficiently. However, I was lucky to also to be treated to stories of all the work hes done advocating for our local LGBTQ community over the decades through Friends of Dorothy, literally saving lives and helping others die with the dignity they deserved. Also, the salon is beautiful.

5 /5 Rowan Bush: I booked with Heather and holy cow, she is the best. Not only is she skilled and professional, but very welcoming and easy to talk to. I nearly cried after my first cut with her because it was one of the best, most affirming cuts I’ve had in a long time. If you are looking for a masculine cut, I highly recommend Heather!

5 /5 petra: absolutely ADORABLE atmosphere, cozy decor and a lovely seating area and super clean. michael took my reference photo and made it fit my hair texture and the shape of my head perfectly, and hes an absolute sweetheart!

5 /5 Em Spencer: I just moved to the area for school and was looking for a new stylist. I went to another shop before this and was not happy with my experience. I contacted Heather at Hairanoia and she got back with me quickly, and was even able to work me in two days before my scheduled appointment to fix my hair. She is a magician with clippers and a pair of scissors!! I am so happy with how my hair turned out and it was overall an incredibly positive experience. Its safe to say I have found my new stylist! I would also recommend this shop for LGBTQ+ clients-- its an affirming and kind space :)
