The Bird's Nest Beauty Parlor

"Very occasionally (every few years), I feel like trying to find someone who'd comprehend my hair's mix of fuzzy, kinky, and stubborn without changing its nature or requiring me to rearrange my life to fit the new hairdo. Success! Brandy accommodated all my wishes, and I ended up with a much neater (and cuter, to me) version that is still mine. Plus, she quickly taught me a routine I can follow without five additional years of training. Such attentive work requires much more experience and thought than just a haircut that visually fits someone's face. Kudos!"

"The Bird’s Nest is such an amazing space, with a creative and down to earth owner who goes above and beyond for her clients. Brandy is such a light and my partner has been getting haircuts from her for a while, I had my first appointment with her today and I am so pleased! She is so sweet, inclusive, and easy to talk to, I would absolutely recommend coming here!"

"I've been going to Brandy for years and have always had a great experience! She is hilarious, and also very professional. She always listens to what I'd like done an I've never regretted having her cut my hair. I get a pretty basic "white-millennial-Kate-Middleton-haircut" and she knocks it out of the park every time! 10/10!"

"First time in, and I felt right at home! Bird's Nest has a lot of personality in a great location, and Brandy gave me one of my favorite cuts - exactly what I asked for! The positive reviews were spot on, would absolutely recommend this place!"

"I'll follow Brandy anywhere! I've been her client since 2010 (following her to any salon she is at) and I've always had full trust in what she does for me. Brandy helps bring my vision to life even when I'm not exactly sure what I want until I talk it out with her. She's so skilled at what she does! I have 2 cowlicks and she has learned how to cut in such a way that they aren't highlighted. My hair grows out so well from her cuts because of how expertly precise she is when she's shaping the cut. She's helped reign me in when I've wanted to shave my head completely, but then years later when I did exactly that for a Halloween costume, she was so encouraging and helped shape it once it started to grow out a bit. It's also such a delight to be in her chair, she is so personable and I hate when our appointments end. She's taken me from angled bob to a variety of really short cuts (once a big transition from very long hair to short angled pixie cut). I typically just see her for short haircuts, but have had her do some color a couple of times and loved the results (though I now don't dye my hair now at all). The space at The Bird's Nest is super cute: it has excellent natural lighting and fun/quirky decor. There's one dedicated spot out front, so if that's full you can easily park on Franklin Street 2-hour parking and walk a minute to the salon. Here's a few photos I've taken over the years of cuts Brandy has done for me (not pictured inside of The Bird's Nest!)"
