I had no idea the place where I get my haircut was so, well, rad. Here's their Mission statement (check out their Website, and especially the Stylists' Profiles, who are "creative geniuses and good listeners").

Mission
At Vain, we recognize and accept our responsibility for influencing people's perceptions about themselves and their bodies. We are committed to fostering personal self-expression and a "do-it-yourself" philosophy. Vain works to disrupt unrealistic and harmful beauty standards from our position within the industry by expanding the definitions of beauty and style.

In our view, beauty does not simply represent one socially-defined conception of what looks good. We see beauty as an intensely personal vision and we embrace the broad spectrum of definitions of beauty that results from this philosophy. At Vain, we work to foster an environment that supports exploration and expression of personal style.

What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be a man?

While Vain does not seek to promote a specific political agenda, we have a strong interest in creating a space where people feel free to explore important questions such as these.

We view each person as a unique individual and encourage people to incorporate their answers to these questions into their everyday life and their personal sense of style.

Our work with community and activist groups lets us put our beliefs into action. We encourage you to do the same.
