wicked
wicked is a queer-owned and operated collective of hair stylists & barbers, built on creativity, community, and sustainability.
Wicked exists because there wasn’t space for us- so we built one.
Hair is personal. Political. Transformational. Sometimes impulsive. Sometimes sacred. We treat it with the respect it deserves.
We don’t shame DIY. We don’t gatekeep. We bring skill, science, and care to wherever you are in your story.
We believe in autonomy- over your body, your aesthetic, your identity- at every age. We know that for some people, hair is gender-affirming. For others, it’s creative expression. For many, it’s both. We approach all of it with intention and respect.
We believe in supporting small, artist-run businesses and building community over competition. We operate with sustainability in mind; composting or donating hair clippings, recycling what we can, and making ongoing efforts to lessen our environmental impact. We are located in a historic building with vintage industrial charm, and our build out & stations were done using mostly recycled and vintage materials sourced locally. Many of the finishes used- from the interior windows and doors to the trim- are reused materials from our building dating back to the 1800s.
Wicked is a collective working by appointment only, so we can give you focused time and thoughtful work.
If you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to explain yourself: you found it.
We are located in the West Bottoms at 1311 W 13th St. on the first level of the Quincy Building. There are four steps up to our street entrance on 13th St. Our parking lot is located on the East side of the building, where there is an additional entrance with wheelchair access.
