G TOURNAI
Founder
Hi, I’m G Tournai. After 16+ years behind the chair, I’ve officially retired from hair—and wow, what a journey it's been.
My career began in high school, cutting hair for a queer friend who had nowhere else to turn. We shaved each other’s heads, laughed, cried, and in that moment, I realized hair could be more than style—it could be safety, freedom, and self-expression. That belief shaped every cut I gave since.
I was honored to be mentored by the legendary Tabatha Coffey, who sharpened my skills and instilled in me the art and discipline of not only barbering, but an amazing sense of self and self-awareness. From precision fades to personalized styles, my mission was always the same: to hold space where people could feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
But chronic illness has changed the way I move through the world. I live with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a spinal disease that’s made it difficult to continue working behind the chair. As a result, I’ve stepped away from taking clients—but my commitment to this space and community lives on.
G Tournai Hair Studio is now a collective, home to talented artists who carry on the mission of queer-affirming, gender-free, badass hair. I may be retired, but I wholeheartedly endorse every artist here to create magic, offer care, and make you feel like your most authentic self.
This isn’t just a salon—it’s a safe haven. And I’m proud to have built it.
🦄✨
