This photo speaks for itself. I loved the cut I received from Nate! Im ready to kick butt in life and take names! I finally get what people feel when they walk out of a haircut feeling more confident than they did going in. I hadn't really felt that strongly until today.

Hands down the best haircut experience I’ve had. Nate is so fun to talk to and understood exactly what I wanted and how to execute it with no reference pictures. Getting a trans inclusive barber cut without paying an arm and a leg? I’m not going anywhere else!

Nate doesn’t just cut hair, he creates looks that you’re proud to showcase through the streets of Portland. Kind attitude and professional service. Thank you!

This is the spot. Nate is the one. You won't regret it. Nate took the time to listen to my thoughts on all things related to my mustache...and then he went to work✂️and the result: perfection paired with a ton of knowledge. He explained the how and the why of 'stash stying and recommended high quality products. Gold & Grit is a hidden 💎 you'll be glad you found.😊 Take your face to the next level - it's the only one you've got.

Worth the wait - I've never felt more seen or comfortable during a haircut. Alaina takes the time to get to know you and what's important to you. 10/10, I'd give more stars if I could.

I've been seeing Alaina for quite some time and I have to say that she is the best stylist/barber that I've ever been to. As someone who's picky about my hair--she truly has such an understanding of getting to know your hair and how it grows out and naturally wants to lay, to ensure your cut and style works best for you. So if you have stubborn hair, she is your person! I also love that they are queer owned and operated and it's such a welcoming environment and caring people. If you're a guy who likes to keep your hair longer, this is a great hybrid of barber shop meets hair salon!

Nate is amazing! I will return for another cut! Conversation was amazing, the cut is fantastic, and the space is comfortable! 10/10 will return! Thank you Nate!
