What if a haircut could change more than just how you look-what if it could change how you feel in your own skin?
In this episode, Erin sits down with Kristin Rankin, a queer hairstylist and the founder of The Dresscode Project, a global organization transforming salons into gender-affirming, inclusive spaces for everyone. From launching the Gender-Free Haircut Club to creating the first gender-affirming salon at the 2025 Paris Olympics, Kristin is redefining what bravery looks like in the beauty industry.
Together, they explore how small actions like inclusive pricing, pronouns, and language can create massive change. This conversation reminds us that belonging doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by intention.
Tune in to hear:
- The story behind The Dresscode Project and its global impact
- Why “men’s” and “women’s” haircuts are outdated and how to price inclusively
- How allies can take simple, powerful actions to support the queer community
- Why trying (even if you get it wrong) matters more than perfection
- The real meaning of bravery in creating inclusive, affirming spaces
