Neuro-Affirming Hair Care

Âme Salon acknowledges how neurodivergence and sensory sensitivities influence your salon experience. For some, being in a salon is overwhelming and even impossible. Our mission is to create an accessible salon that celebrates the beauty of everyone (kids & teens included!)

Hi, I’m Ruth!

Nothing makes me happier than helping you feel at ease while creating beautiful hair.

With education in mental health and sensory processing, I offer you neuro-affirming haircare. My signature style is "lived-in precision" and I love detail work, pixie cuts, and curly hair.
