Every time I schedule a haircut with Lori, I know I’m in good hands. She truly put the focus on you and creates a welcoming, good-vibe space. She cares deeply about her craft and takes the time to listen. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and you can tell she takes pride in delivering clean, consistent results every time. The space itself feels calm and intentional, from the energy she brings to the in-house products she uses. I always walk out not only looking sharper, but also feeling more grounded and confident. Highly recommend Proud People Barber Botanica!
My haircuts are always how I want them, but for me it’s more than just the haircut. It’s about how comfortable my barber makes me feel. The chemistry is very important. Proud People is my sanctuary, it’s made ATX feel like home for this LA native.
I’ve been going to Lori for a year and a half, and I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my hair. She is thoughtful, considerate, and will work with you to achieve the vision you have of yourself. Lori understands that hair can be a sensitive part of identity and is mindful of how that can affect your well being and sense of self. We’re always laughing and have great conversations — but she’s also down if you just want a quiet session. I always leave sharper and content :) Highly recommend!
