Cooper

Hi! I’m Cooper (they/them). I have been working as a professional hairstylist for 8 years since my training in 2017. Some of my favourite things to do behind the chair are curly cuts, shags, mullets, lived-in natural textured styles, blonding, seamlessly blended balayage, punchy vivid colours, contemporary barbering, personalized razor cuts, kids’ cuts (I love working with youth!), and gender-affirming haircuts. I view each service as a collaboration with my clients to fully realize an aesthetic look that blends lifestyle with a unique creative vision. I value listening to my clients, making sure they feel heard and comfortable in my chair. I’m also passionate about merging mutual aid, organizing, and hair services. In Vancouver, where I was mentored by Shaunn at Big Joy Barber & Salon, I helped organize fundraisers and mutual aid events to help people with barriers access hair services. I’m excited to bring similar initiatives to Montreal in the future! Drawing on inspiration from fashion, music, and rave culture, my art school background informs my design sensibilities and my craft. When not at work, I enjoy baking, music, and going to live shows.
