About Hermès
Hermès is a trans man who embraced his true identity in 2017 and shared his journey with the world in 2020. Now, he’s a full-time stylist in D.C. with a passion for teaching. When the very school where he once studied and later taught told him not to talk about gender, pronouns, or queer inclusivity, Hermès saw an opportunity. Instead of backing down, he created his own course that dives head-on into those very topics. Starting with the Gender Inclusivity 101 course you’ll receive a certificate of completion, as well as a spot on our map that anyone who visits the website can use the map to help locate a stylist locally and book an appointment.

“Everyone should feel seen in the hair salon”
